With the No. 519 pick in the 2023 MLB draft, the Chicago White Sox have selected infielder Mikey Kane from Oregon State University — on his 22nd birthday. Happy birthday, Mikey ... pretty awesome gift, eh?
Kane has got a little bit of everything, which seems to be the decided direction the White Sox took overall in the 2023 draft, certainly among the hitters.
17-509. White Sox: Mikey Kane, IF, Oregon St -- disciplined contact college infielder, RHH w/ barrel control and little thud w/ fringe/blw pwr, approach-over-hit w/ selectivity, avg runner w/ dirt actions/versatility

Despite primarily being a middle infielder, Mikey’s got some pop, too!
