Four White Sox ‘prospects’ are heading to spring training to make their mark

New York Times  

White Sox catcher Zack Collins once dreamed of being a fighter pilot. “He puts a lot of work into the analytics side of it and angles, and how to angle your body different ways to have it look the best for the umpire and that’s kind of what we’ve been working on, little more advanced stuff like that.” Whatever hesitance Collins, the team’s top draft pick in 2016, had about prying into Grandal’s methods and game-planning last season is gone now. I’m not really worried about cracking the roster.” Zack Collins, shown here watching a game from the Guaranteed Rate Field stands in 2020, wants to be the White Sox’s backup catcher in 2021. A career.282/.403/.548 hitter in Class AAA, Collins has qualifications and pedigree to be that guy, but that hasn’t shown up in his.167/.286/.314 across 119 widely scattered big league plate appearances. I think I’ve faced the best pitchers in the game and to me, it was just a white ball, you know what I mean?” Left off of the alternate site roster for all of 2020, former second-round pick Gavin Sheets was consumed with a way to insert himself into that same conversation about left-handed power bats.
