Overview
- The White Sox made Cholowsky the No. 1 overall pick and signed him for a record $10.35 million to start his professional career.
- He spent post-draft weeks in the White Sox development program with a Charlotte draft camp and Bridge League work in Arizona where he hit his first pro home run.
- Cholowsky made his High-A debut Tuesday for Winston-Salem as the starting shortstop and drew a walk in five plate appearances while going hitless.
- In that debut he handled all four defensive chances cleanly, a trait White Sox coaches highlighted alongside reports that he has quickly earned clubhouse respect.
- The club plans an extended look over the next weeks to evaluate whether his early defensive competence and plate discipline merit a faster climb through the system
