DirtySox Posted April 2, 2024 Author Share Posted April 2, 2024 (edited) Quote Noah Schultz, LHP, White Sox There is no doubting Schultz’s prodigious arm talent. He brings loads of lightning from the left side every time he takes the mound. Problem is, health has kept him from taking the mound as often as he or the White Sox would like. His 2023 season was delayed by a flexor strain and then ended early by a shoulder impingement. In his final spring tuneup, the Illinois-bred lefthander looked as untouchable as ever, and there’s a whole host of Reds prospects who can verify. Over three innings, Schultz carved with three pitches that graded at least plus, including a two-seamer that sat in the upper 90s and peaked at 98 and a slider sharp enough to make lefties reconsider their line of work. Perhaps most impressively, Schultz showed the ability to sweep the pitch away from southpaws or dot the corner armside against righties. If he can take the ball every five days, he’ll have a case as the best lefthanded pitching prospect in the sport. Expand Quote Jake Eder, LHP, White Sox Eder opened his career with the Marlins by jumping directly to Double-A in his first season as a pro. He was dazzling with Pensacola, where he competed for the Southern League’s ERA crown before suffering an injury that required Tommy John surgery. Eder returned in 2023 and pitched to mixed results before being sent to Chicago in the trade that made Jake Burger a Marlin. He finished the year with Double-A Birmingham and then added more time in the Arizona Fall League, where he struggled with control and command over six outings. Eder pitched three innings in an intrasquad game toward the end of spring and was excellent, recording six strikeouts and getting 10 whiffs overall while pounding the zone with a four-pitch mix that included a cutter in the 86-88 mph range in addition to his usual fastball-slider-changeup array. If he brings the same crispness into the season as he showed on the backfields, he could add some more shine to an overhauled White Sox system.

Timmy U Posted April 2, 2024 Share Posted April 2, 2024 Great news about Eder. There's plenty of room in the Sox rotation moving forward. I hope he grabs his opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted April 2, 2024 Share Posted April 2, 2024 Quote If he can take the ball every five days, he’ll have a case as the best lefthanded pitching prospect in the sport Expand Well Schultz is not going to take the ball every 5th day he's going to take the ball every 7 days. They're taking a college approach by making him a weekly starter. It's an interesting plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
