White Sox Take Outfielder Cameron Butler in the 15th Round (455th overall)

The Chicago White Sox continue with high-upside high school picks on Day 3 by taking Cameron Butler in the 15th round in the MLB Draft.

We’ve seen a lot of high school talent come off the board on the final day, as teams hope to maybe go a little over slot to keep a kid from going to college — it sounds bad when you say it like that. But that’s essentially what the White Sox are hoping by taking Big Valley Christian High School (Riverbank, Calif.) grad Cameron Butler.

They drafted him as an outfielder, but he ranks as the 107th best high school shortstop in the country and 500th overall, according to Perfect Game.
