White Sox 2022 Draft signings tracker

July 31st, 2022

Below is a list of every player drafted by the White Sox.

Each club has until 5 p.m. ET/4 p.m. CT on Monday, Aug. 1, to come to terms with its Draft selections. If a player has exhausted his collegiate eligibility, he can sign at any time up until one week prior to the next year’s Draft.

Draft-and-follow picks -- high school and junior college players selected after the 10th round who attend a two-year college after the Draft -- can sign with their selecting teams for up to $250,000 up until a week prior to the following year’s Draft.

Total bonus pool: $6,292,500
MLB rank: 28

1 (26): Noah Schultz, LHP, Oswego East HS (Ill.) -- $2,800,000 (Pick value: $2,789,400)
The White Sox targeted the lanky left-hander even though most of his senior season at Oswego East High School was wiped out by mono. Schultz has been compared to Hall of Famer Randy Johnson because of his high-octane stuff and his three-quarters delivery style and to Chris Sale, one of the greatest pitchers in White Sox history. The local product is a young project, but the White Sox feel he has top of the rotation sort of stuff and makeup.

2 (62): Peyton Pallette, RHP, Arkansas -- $1,500,000 (Pick value: $1,159,200)
If Pallette had pitched healthy this past season, he could have possibly been a first-round selection. But his Tommy John surgery on Jan. 31, 2022, allowed the White Sox to get what they believe was a first-round talent in the second round. Pallette has put on 15 pounds since the surgery, per White Sox director of amateur scouting Mike Shirley. He’s a definite high-upside guy. 

3 (101): Jonathan Cannon, RHP, Georgia -- $925,000 (Pick value: $606,600)
Cannon impressed the White Sox with his pitching intellect and ability to communicate when they met him in person. He fanned 68 over 78 1/3 innings during 13 starts for Georgia this past season.

4 (131): Jordan Sprinkle, SS, UC Santa Barbara -- $452,900 (Pick value: $452,900)
According to Shirley, Sprinkle is an 80-grade runner who many in the White Sox Draft room felt could play shortstop today in the Majors. Shirley also felt Sprinkle got caught up in trying to be more of a power guy offensively during his pre-Draft campaign, while his strength is using his elite athletic ability across the field. 

5 (161): Tyler Schweitzer, LHP, Ball State -- $325,000 (Pick value: $337,600)
Schweitzer’s velocity has jumped to the range of 90-94 mph, while mixing in a changeup to go along with his breaking ball. He has a strong ability to pitch and compete, and Shirley describes him as an old-school guy where his velocity increases when his workload gets higher.

6 (191): Eric Adler, RHP, Wake Forest -- $200,000 (Pick value: $261,800)

7 (221): Mark McLaughlin, RHP, Tennessee -- $150,000 (Pick value: $205,800)

8 (251): Mario Camilletti, 2B, Central Michigan (Calif.) (Pick value: $171,800)

9 (281): Michael Turner, C, Arkansas (Pick value: $157,800)

10 (311): Tim Elko, 1B, Ole Miss (Pick value: $149,600)

11 (341): Jacob Burke, OF, Miami

12 (371): Brooks Baldwin, 3B, UNC Wilmington

13 (401): Mason Adams, RHP, Jacksonville University

14 (431): Shane Murphy, LHP, Chandler Gilbert CC (Ariz.)

15 (461): Billy Seidl, RHP, Duke

16 (491): Tristan Stivors, RHP, Texas State

17 (521): Nick Altermatt, RHP, Minnesota State Mankato

18 (551): Bryce Willits, 3B, UC Santa Barbara

19 (581): Drake Logan, 3B, Shelton State CC (Miss.)

20 (611): Ethan Hammerberg, RHP, Ohio State

How bonus pools and pick values work

Each choice in the first 10 rounds comes with an assigned value, with the total for a club's selections equaling what it can spend in those rounds without incurring a penalty. If a player taken in the top 10 rounds doesn't sign, his pick's value gets subtracted from his team's pool. Clubs near the top of the Draft often spend less than the assigned value for those choices and use the savings to offer more money to later selections.

Teams that exceed their bonus pool face a penalty. Clubs that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, clubs lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.
