The numbers are solid, the game isn’t sexy, but don’t be surprised if our final pick simply works his way up the ladder to Chicago
With the 599th and final White Sox pick in the 2023 MLB draft, the team selected right-handed reliever Garrett Wright out of TCU.
Wright served as the primary closer for the high-profile Horned Frogs team in 2022-23 seeing high leverage and earning 11 saves in his career in Fort Worth. He also brings some true explosiveness, with an off-the-charts 12.60 K/9 in his college career.

Now, on the flip side, that explosiveness comes with some control issues, as evidenced by Wright’s 6.17 BB/9 at TCU.
The White Sox clearly regard Horned Frogs relievers as some sort of untapped market, having selected three now in just the past three drafts. And while the White Sox may not have spent too many sleepless nights worrying over the 599th pick in the draft, they’ve seen enough in Wright to see something correctable that will push down free passes while keeping the Ks tight.
Garrett Wright looks like a mid round college reliever with good stuff and poor command. FF had 168 stuff+, SL a 158. Up to 98, sits 94-97 in short stints. Really good gyro-SL at 86-89. If he ends up starting and performing b/c of improved control it’s a day 1 profile. pic.twitter.com/9bk0GMZltF
A year ago, I saw big-saves Texan Tristan Stivors as a possible fast mover in the org, and while he remains at Winston-Salem one year later, the same fast movement could hold for Wright. The right combination of a willingness to take the ball (peep the durability figure below) and possible quick tweaks to his delivery/approach could find Wright meeting and passing even the high-potential Stivors.
