Selected fourth overall in this year’s MLB First-Year Player draft was former Oregon State University Beaver Nick Madrigal. in less than a year in the White Sox organization, he has already made a name for himself.
Drafted as a junior, Madrigal only played three seasons as a Beaver. In those three seasons, he never had a batting average lower than .333. His best season was his sophomore year. Miraculously, he had his most amount of at-bats, 237, while hitting for his best .380 batting average, .449 on-base percentage and .532, his best slugging percentage. These numbers tell scouts that he is a player that only gets better as the year goes on as opposed to tiring out with more at-bats.
