Your one-stop spot for all 20 of our newest players!
Hello, and welcome to the 2025 White Sox MLB draft tracker!
Below, you’ll find every pick the White Sox make, with links to our individual stories on site.
Right off the bat, there were surprises at the top of the draft, with the Nationals selecting high school shortstop Eli Willits, son of former major league outfielder Reggie:
and then the Angels picking MLB’s overall No. 18 prospect Tyler Bremner, with the No. 2. Lucky, Mariners … or wait, lucky Rockies, getting Ethan Holliday, the top hitting talent in the draft.
All of the first nine position player prospects this year (through pick No. 14) are shortstops. Getting deeper into the round, 12 of 21 picks were shortstops, still almost exclusively among position players.
On Day 2, the White Sox finally got their “first overall pick” vibe that shoulda/woulda been theirs in any other past draft, and at No. 106 did not quite take the top remaining talent on the board.

White Sox picks
First Round No. 10: Billy Carlson, SS, Corona (Calif.) H.S.
Carlson is considered a glove-first shortstop who will be dependent on the White Sox developing his bat. Um …
Second Round No. 44: Jaden Fauske, OF, Nazareth (IL) Academy
The Illinois H.S. Player of the Year, considered an OF-C likely to stick in the outfield. Fauske was a teammate of Jim Thome’s son and a veteran of the White Sox Area Code team, as Caleb Bonemer was in 2024.
Third Round No. 76 Kyle Lodise, SS, Georgia Tech University
Another bat and a second shortstop, regarded as the 79th overall talent in the draft by MLB. A better offensive player than Billy Carlson, but there’s doubt he’ll stick at shortstop.
Fourth Round No. 106 Landon Hodge, C, Crespi Carmelite (Calif.) H.S.
Hits from the left side, which is coveted by teams, although Hodge is more line-drive than power with his swing. Strong arm but not the most accomplished receiver.
Fifth Round No. 137 Gabe Davis, RHP, Oklahoma State University
Massive (6´9´´) arm who has had collarbone/shoulder issues. Can bring it, and will be a starter or reliever tool in Brian Bannister’s playbox.
Sixth Round No. 166 Colby Shelton, SS, University of Florida
A lefty bat who made the decision to shorten his swing for contact and average vs. selling out for power as was his initial approach with the Gators. Seems like with his lack of speed he’ll be a second base prospect going forward.
Seventh Round No. 196
