The White Sox have the best record in baseball, the best run differential, the best ERA in the AL, and are ranked #1 in the Athletic and ESPN power ratings. 

Yet, the team has a lot of guys in their first full year of MLB, if you consider that last year was a truncated season.

DH - Yermin Mercedes
LF - Andrew Vaughn
CF - Luis Robert
2B - Nick Madrigal
Backup catcher - Zack Collins

SP/RP - Michael Kopech 
RP - Garrett Crochet
RP - Codi Heuer
RP - Matt Foster

That's 9 guys on a 26 man roster who are playing significant roles.  Do any other teams with winning records have this number of rookies playing significant roles? 

This is a good and a bad thing. Good in that these guys should get better. Bad in that they all may still have some growing pains. Still, it's an impressive group.
