The White Sox improved by 19 wins from the 2024 to the 2025 season, marking significant improvement. Additionally, the White Sox played much better than a 60-102 team for most of the second half, as they had some important contributions from the rookies on the roster.

As we dissect the 2025 season, we will take a look at how each player performed, as well as their outlook for 2026 and beyond. The next player we will take a look at will be infielder Lenyn Sosa.

Sosa is one of the more intriguing players on the White Sox roster. Prior to making it to the White Sox roster, he tore up each minor league level, before struggling in smaller stints with the White Sox. Sosa finally broke through late in 2024, which set him up for a spot on the roster in 2025.

Sosa had a very good performance at the plate in 2025, as he hit .264 with 22 homeruns, 72 RBIs, and a very solid .727 OPS. For his first season playing more than 100 games in the major leagues, that is very impressive. Still just 25, Sosa can continue to grow and improve with this new look White Sox team.

Despite his solid season with the bat, there are certainly some areas that Sosa can improve. Sosa’s OBP was only .293, which is just 30 points higher than his batting average. According to Baseball Reference, Sosa’s walk percentage is 3.3% This is not what you want to see, as Chris Getz has continually targeted players that take walks.

Kyle Teel for example, one of Chris Getz’s biggest targets, had a 12.5 walk percentage according to Baseball Reference. If Sosa wants to keep his spot in the lineup, he will need to bring up that number significantly.

On the defensive side, Sosa plays the infield, but has not been able to lock down a position. He has the versatility to play every position in the infield, which is extremely valuable to the team, but he is not a wizard with the glove. According to Baseball Savant, he is only in the 19th percentile of outs above average, putting towards the bottom of the league.

On the bright side, Sosa is still very young. He has shown us he can hit the ball, which is the hardest part of the game. If he continues to work in the field and taking more walks, he could be a very good player for the White Sox, as 25+ homerun potential infielders don’t grow on trees.

I would grade Sosa out as a B for the 2025 season, as he showed us that he can hit like a true major leaguer. However, there are just a few areas of his game he will need to clean up if he wants to take the next step.
