When the Chicago White Sox drafted left-handed pitcher Noah Schultz out of the Chicago suburb of Oswego in 2022, they knew the arm was special.
Schultz became the first high school arm taken by the White Sox in the first round since 2001, when the team selected New Lenox native Kris Honel 16th overall.
High school players, especially pitchers, come with a high amount of risk, but the White Sox believed in Schultz enough to take him 26th overall.
When Schultz debuted for the White Sox organization, it became easy to see why.
