Chicago White Sox: While We Waited Part 1 – Omar Narvaez

At age 16, former Chicago White Sox catcher Omar Narvaez was signed by the Tampa Bay Rays. He played in a few international leagues like the Venezuelan Summer League and Gulf Coast League. In 2013, however, the White Sox selected him in the Rule 5 draft.

He then spent two and a half years in the minors. Starting with Low-A Kannapolis, he was promoted to High-A Winston-Salem. Narvaez would spend the entirety of his 2015 with the Dash but would split time between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte in 2016. On July 17, Narvaez made his major-league debut against the Angels.
