With the sixth pick in the Compensation A round, 38th overall, the Chicago White Sox selected Josh Phegley, a catcher out of Indiana University. The 21 year old junior catcher becomes the second Hoosier taken in this year’s draft and he joins Jared Mitchell as one of the top Sox picks.

Phegley was successful in the Cape Cod League and has capitalized on his performance in Big Ten play as well. He hit .344 with 17 home runs and 66 RBI for the Hoosiers.

Phegley shows above average power to go along with good plate discipline. Phegley is a skilled hitter, but most questions for him have revolved around his ability to stick as a catcher. His defense is questionable, as well as his arm, and he may not stick at the position. However, his bat will keep him there as long as possible.
