Chicago White Sox Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Baseball America on George Wolkow (#79): Quote Ht: 6'7" | Wt: 225 | B-T: L-R School: Downers Grove (Ill.) North HS Source: HS Commit/Drafted: South Carolina Age At Draft: 17.5 BA Grade:50/Extreme Tools:Hit: 40. Power: 60. Run: 50. Field: 50. Arm: 60. Wolkow ranked as the No. 6 player in the 2024 high school class before announcing in March 2022 that he was reclassifying for 2023. At a towering 6-foot-7, Wolkow jumps out immediately for his size and big lefthanded power. It’s an easy projection to plus raw power and not hard to envision future 70-grade power on the 20-80 scale. There are strikeouts that come with that power, and Wolkow looked overmatched at times after reclassifying, with a 33% miss rate in 24 games logged by Synergy in 2022. His swing works well for someone his size, with a chance for 35-plus home runs down the road and he did show solid on-base ability during the fall at Perfect Game’s WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla. He has a strong arm that projects to be plus, with a chance to play third base, but right field is another possibility. Wolkow runs well for his size and his big, loping strides could allow him to cover solid ground in the outfield. While there’s plenty of risk in his profile given the swing-and-miss, Wolkow is exceptionally young for the class (he doesn’t turn 18 until January 2024) with massive tools to dream on. He is committed to South Carolina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reclassified to get drafted but he had an awful spring and he's not hitting in the NWL either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Well this is a conundrum....as a White Sox fan, this is awesome. As a South Carolina baseball fan, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams aren't going to risk the allotment loss. They know the number ahead of time and plan accordingly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
