Trending on the Farm: George Wolkow and Caleb Bonemer Pace Kannapolis Offense

Noah Schultz – MLB Pipeline White Sox #1

Noah Schultz had a two start week for the Barons, and his first outing was his best. Chattanooga was able to touch him up some in his second outing, along with battling some command issues that saw his Sunday showing only last three and a third innings (five runs, all earned).

Kyle Teel – MLB Pipeline White Sox #2

While the power may not have been there last week for Kyle Teel, the 23-year-old catcher continued his solid run of hitting at the plate in Gwinnett, knocking five hits while walking twice in four games.

Hagen Smith – MLB Pipeline White Sox #3

Hagen Smith had his start skipped over last week in the hopes to give the 21-year-old southpaw some rest after his velocity dipped in his previous outing.

Colson Montgomery – MLB Pipeline White Sox #6

Returning to the Charlotte roster and lineup after an Arionza reset with White Sox Director of Hitting Ryan Fuller, Colson Montgomery had a very solid week against the Stripers. Montgomery reached base safely in at least once in all of his five games last week, and had multi-hit outings in two of those games as well. Additionally, Montgomery walked twice to four strikeouts, which was progress in the right direction on that front.

Braden Montgomery – MLB Pipeline White Sox #4

Grant Taylor – MLB Pipeline White Sox #7

Grant Taylor was shifted to the bullpen to help manage his workload and while that may not be an ideal move for his prospects in building up an innings base, the immediate results for the 22-year-old right-hander have been stellar in his first two relief appearances.

Jairo Iriarte – MLB Pipeline White Sox #9
