2025 was a year of progress for many young pitchers in the White Sox farm system. Players like Tanner McDougal and Christian Oppor began the season toward the back of the White Sox top 30 and emerged as potential building blocks with big performances in 2025. The White Sox have another pitching prospect in a similar position entering 2026, and promising signs from him in 2025 could indicate his breakout season is imminent.
The White Sox selected RHP Mathias LaCombe, a native of France, in the 12th round of the 2023 draft after a stellar season at Cochise Community College in Arizona.
