Under the Radar details players in the Chicago White Sox system who may have suffered setbacks, gotten lost in the shuffle, or just haven’t surfaced as significant prospects as of yet. Next up is Jose Rondon, who has come out of nowhere to tie for lead the White Sox organization in home runs, and may be a viable option for next year’s Opening Day roster.
Signed for $70,000 out of Venezuela in 2011 by the Angels, Rondon (six-foot-one, 195 pounds), spent three years in rookie ball (slashing .290/.352/.392) before making his full season debut in with the Inland Empire 66’ers (A+) in 2014.
