The Science Of Making Better White Sox Hitters

In 2024 the White Sox commissioned a biomechanical study to identify adjustments that could make better hitters. The results shared with them a year ago has the potential help develop better hitters, identify draft targets and find "fixable" players in free agency and the trade market. Are we already seeing some impact? We sit down with two of the guys behind the project, Alex Yeager and Devan Joshi, at Cork & Kerry At The Park to hear all about this surprising focus from the front office.

White Sox Herald Sir Anthony

Chris Getz spent some of that Luis Robert Jr money right away by bringing in free agent bullpen arm Seranthony Domínguez. Is the presumed closer for the White Sox the best option? The answer may surprise you. While starting pitching in their price range remains deep, the White Sox may have one logical free agent outfield option left.

White Sox Trying Something New

The guys discuss a new analytical approach from the White Sox front office and ask if that's why the team seems to be hyping Jarred Kelenic this week. Sure he has a new swing, but is that enough to prevent another outfielder from joining the team before Spring Training? More national lists are also coming out, and one has a young Sox player in the Top 100 in all of MLB for the first time. Plus, the Sox Nerd explains why he held back a nugget from the scoreboard during Mark Buehrle's perfect game.
