FutureSox has compiled stats for every signed Sox draft pick so far. Take a look at who’s performing well and who’s off to a slow start.

Eighth round pick Ryan Buch out of Monmouth University is as interesting as any Sox pick after the first day. The 6-3 junior from tiny Monmouth College, ranked 90th in the country by Baseball America, fell into the Sox laps into the 8th round.

Justin Collop, the sixth round pick of the Sox from Toledo, sounds like a guy ready to sign.

With the 71st pick overall in the MLB Draft, the Chicago White Sox took left handed starting pitcher David Holmberg from Port Charlotte High School in Port Charlotte, Florida.

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.
