This vote was so close, I am starting this edition without yet knowing who the winner is. One vote divides first and second place.<\/p>\n

But first, let\u2019s talk about voter participation. After a season high of 150 votes (Vote No. 1) and four straight polls finishing with fewer than 100 ballots, Round 11 ran past 200. While that\u2019s much more in line with our traditional early votes in SSS annals, it blows away the participation we\u2019ve gotten so far. We\u2019ll see if it sustains.<\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s the curious part: The battle for No. 1 was between last round\u2019s No. 4 and 6 finishers. Jeral Perez moved from one vote last time to 51! But the big leap and eventual win came from Jaden Fauske, moving from six votes to 52, eking out the win with 52 of 217 (24%) votes:<\/p>\n

Fauske, drafted in the second round in 2025, makes his Vote debut this year. He becomes the first right fielder and just second outfielder to advance. Fauske was the last player remaining from our very first ballot, giving him the longest wait to advance award \u2026 for now.<\/p>\n

Past No. 10s in the SSS Top Prospect Vote<\/strong>
\n2025<\/strong> Jeral Perez (20%)
\n2024<\/strong> Jos\u00e9 Rodr\u00edguez (24%)

Also curious this round was No. 3 finisher Landon Hodge, who jumped from zero votes to 29 in his second try on the ballot. New to the Vote this round is under-the-radar southpaw Grant Umberger.<\/p>\n

    William Bergolla<\/strong>
    \nShortstop
    \nAge<\/strong> 21
    \n2025 high level<\/strong> Birmingham (AA)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-3.7 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats <\/strong>125 games \u25aa\ufe0f 0 HR \u25aa\ufe0f 36 RBI \u25aa\ufe0f .286\/.342\/.333 \u25aa\ufe0f 40-of-51 (78.4%) SB \u25aa\ufe0f 37 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 26 K \u25aa\ufe0f .981 FLD%\u25aa\ufe0f 4.4 WAR<\/p>\n

    The epitome of a \u201cChris Getz player,\u201d Bergolla offsets his Punch-and-Judy bat with deft baserunning, a killer glove and incredible plate discipline. Well young for his level, this legacy player (dad, also William Bergolla) has cut through the White Sox system like butter since his acquisition at the 2024 trade deadline (from Philly, for Tanner Banks).<\/p>\n

    Reudis Diaz<\/strong>
    \nRight-handed relief pitcher
    \nAge<\/strong> 20
    \n2025 high level<\/strong> ACL (Rookie)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-2.1 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats <\/strong>1-1 \u25aa\ufe0f 1 SV\u25aa\ufe0f 21 games (4 finishes) \u25aa\ufe0f 27 2\/3 IP \u25aa\ufe0f 2.28.ERA \u25aa\ufe0f 18 K \u25aa\ufe0f 8 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 1.084 WHIP \u25aa\ufe0f1.2 WAR<\/p>\n

    Who? You\u2019re forgiven for being unfamiliar with an extremely young arm who hasn\u2019t yet gotten out of rookie ball, but our No. 77 prospect a year ago (then a starter, repeating the DSL and killing it) made a successful adjustment Stateside. He\u2019ll return to starting in 2026, likely getting his feet wet in Arizona and getting a promotion to Low-A in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

    Jaden Fauske<\/strong>
    \nOutfielder
    \nAge<\/strong> 18
    \n2025 high level <\/strong>Nazareth Academy (Ill.) (Prep)
    \nScouting grades (40-80 scale) <\/strong>Hit 55 \u25aa\ufe0f Power 50 \u25aa\ufe0f Run 55 \u25aa\ufe0f Arm 50 \u25aa\ufe0f Field 50 \u25aa\ufe0f Overall 50<\/p>\n

    Another thing the White Sox just can\u2019t stay away from are products of their Area Codes team. Following in Bonemer\u2019s (and George Wolkow, as well as pitchers Noah Schultz and Blake Larson) footsteps is the Jim Thome-approved Fauske, who was a catcher-outfielder but now seems set on giving it a bigger run in the field than behind the plate. It will be interesting to see whether the White Sox give Fauske any catching reps (he grades out well as a catcher); for what it is worth, he was announced at the draft as an outfielder-only.<\/p>\n

    Jacob Gonzalez<\/strong>
    \nSecond Baseman
    \nAge<\/strong> 21
    \n2024 SSS Prospect Poll ranking<\/strong> 9
    \n2025 SSS Prospect Poll ranking<\/strong> 24
    \n2025 high level<\/strong> Charlotte (AAA)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-3.3 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats (AA\/AAA) <\/strong>134 games \u25aa\ufe0f 8 HR \u25aa\ufe0f 61 RBI \u25aa\ufe0f .232\/.307\/.345 \u25aa\ufe0f 17-of-20 (85.0%) SB \u25aa\ufe0f 48 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 86 K \u25aa\ufe0f .990 FLD%\u25aa\ufe0f 3.1 WAR<\/p>\n

    After the incredible first half\/awful second of 2024, Gonzalez rebounded for a solid campaign, the final third of which came in Charlotte. However, his time in Charlotte, a hitter\u2019s playground, was a significant step back on offense. He\u2019s on the cusp of the bigs but has created questions whether he\u2019ll produce at all with the stick on the South Side.<\/p>\n

    Landon Hodge<\/strong>
    \nCatcher
    \nAge<\/strong> 19
    \n2025 high level <\/strong>Crespi Carmelite H.S. (Encino, Calif.)
    \nScouting grades (40-80 scale) <\/strong>Hit 45 \u25aa\ufe0f Power 40 \u25aa\ufe0f Run 50 \u25aa\ufe0f Arm 55 \u25aa\ufe0f Field 50 \u25aa\ufe0f Overall 40<\/p>\n

    This teammate of White Sox first-rounder (and SSS Top Prospect Vote No. 7 player) Billy Carlson made history simply by being drafted (fourth round, No. 107 overall). The very first pick of Day 2 of the draft was a somewhat curious one, given MLB\u2019s ranking as the 164th-best talent available in the draft and the presence of much more enticing talents (as high as MLB\u2019s No. 35 prospect) passed over on Day 1. Hodge has a killer arm (another characteristic he shares with Carlson) and has a solid hit tool that\u2019s more average than power.<\/p>\n

    Kyle Lodise<\/strong>
    \nShortstop
    \nAge<\/strong> 22
    \n2025 high level <\/strong>Winston-Salem (High-A)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-1.0 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats <\/strong>28 games \u25aa\ufe0f 4 HR \u25aa\ufe0f 10 RBI \u25aa\ufe0f .185\/.319\/.370 \u25aa\ufe0f 7-of-8 (87.5%) SB \u25aa\ufe0f 15 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 21 K \u25aa\ufe0f .954 FLD%\u25aa\ufe0f 0.4 WAR<\/p>\n

    Last summer\u2019s third-rounder got right to work after the draft, reporting to High-A and adding another third to what was already the longest (55 games) season of his career. While that slash is rough, at least nearly a fourth (four of 17) of the shortstop\u2019s hits left the yard. Perhaps against easier competition (or, maybe not), Lodise ran out a .329\/.429\/.667 slash in his last college season for Georgia Tech, with similar power, baserunning and bat discipline numbers.<\/p>\n

    Jake Palsich<\/strong>
    \nLeft-Handed Relief Pitcher
    \nAge<\/strong> 27
    \n2025 high level<\/strong> Chicago (MLB)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-3.2 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats (AA only)<\/strong> 8-3 \u25aa\ufe0f 11 SV \u25aa\ufe0f 29 games (13 starts, 1 finish) \u25aa\ufe0f 105 IP \u25aa\ufe0f 2.14.ERA \u25aa\ufe0f 67 K \u25aa\ufe0f 26 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 1.067 WHIP \u25aa\ufe0f 3.0 WAR<\/p>\n

    Palisch was a fluke call-up during Adrian Houser\u2019s paternity leave last summer, but his stellar Double-A season certainly merited consideration. While a pretty old player for his level and a guy bringing pedestrian peripherals, the bottom line is that an arm able to start or relieve and generate outs without overpowering stuff has a place in the White Sox system \u2014 and perhaps with the White Sox themselves.<\/p>\n

    Peyton Pallette<\/strong>
    \nRight-Handed Relief Pitcher
    \nAge<\/strong> 24
    \n2023 SSS Prospect Poll ranking<\/strong> 11
    \n2024 SSS Prospect Poll ranking<\/strong> 18
    \n2025 SSS Prospect Poll ranking<\/strong> N\/R
    \n2025 high level<\/strong> Charlotte (AAA)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-3.3 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats (AA\/AAA)<\/strong> 2-3 \u25aa\ufe0f 11 SV \u25aa\ufe0f 52 games (27 finishes) \u25aa\ufe0f 64 1\/3 IP \u25aa\ufe0f 4.06 ERA \u25aa\ufe0f 86 K \u25aa\ufe0f 28 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 1.119 WHIP \u25aa\ufe0f 1.1 WAR<\/p>\n

    Pallette has spent two or three seasons now as the likely \u201cnext closer up\u201d among White Sox farmhands, and his heavy time spent in Charlotte last summer might mean the big club is ready to see him break north with them next spring. While the former starter hasn\u2019t quite mastered Charlotte, what pitcher truly can in such a robust hitting environment. There\u2019s no product of the system ready to advance to the bigs more than Pallette.<\/p>\n

    Jeral Perez<\/strong>
    \nShortstop
    \nAge<\/strong> 21
    \n2025 SSS Prospect Poll ranking<\/strong> 11
    \n2025 high level <\/strong>Winston-Salem (High-A)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-2.0 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats <\/strong>125 games \u25aa\ufe0f 22 HR \u25aa\ufe0f 70 RBI \u25aa\ufe0f .244\/.315\/.448 \u25aa\ufe0f 10-of-13 (76.9%) SB \u25aa\ufe0f 44 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 112 K \u25aa\ufe0f .906 FLD%\u25aa\ufe0f 1.3 WAR<\/p>\n

    On the plus side, Perez nearly doubled his homers and proved to have surprising thumb for a smallish middle infielder. However, he misses a lot of balls both at the plate and in the field. A challenge for the still very young bopper is finding a way to distinguish himself with stiff competition right around his age and level, including three MIs on this ballot: William Bergolla, Caleb Bonemer and Billy Carlson.<\/p>\n

    Grant Umberger<\/strong>
    \nLeft-Handed Starting Pitcher
    \nAge<\/strong> 24
    \n2025 high level<\/strong> Winston-Salem (High-A)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-0.2 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats (Low-A\/High-A)<\/strong> 9-2\u25aa\ufe0f 25 games (18 starts, 1 finish) \u25aa\ufe0f 105 2\/3 IP \u25aa\ufe0f 2.56.ERA \u25aa\ufe0f 116 K \u25aa\ufe0f 34 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 1.136 WHIP \u25aa\ufe0f 3.2 WAR<\/p>\n

    Out of nowhere (OK, actually the University of Toledo, but undrafted and unheralded), Umberger had perhaps the best starting season of any pitcher in the White Sox system \u2014 certainly in the lower minors. Yet another <\/em>southpaw (yes, the White Sox have a type), 2026 will be Umberger\u2019s chance to serve notice to 29 other teams (oh yeah, the Sox too) that they were foolish not to draft him.<\/p>\n

    George Wolkow<\/strong>
    \nRight Fielder
    \nAge<\/strong> 20
    \n2024 SSS Prospect Poll ranking<\/strong> 14
    \n2025 SSS Prospect Poll ranking<\/strong> 13
    \n2025 high level <\/strong>Kannapolis (Low-A)
    \nAge relative to high level <\/strong>-1.4 years
    \nOverall 2025 stats <\/strong>116 games \u25aa\ufe0f 13 HR \u25aa\ufe0f 69 RBI \u25aa\ufe0f .223\/.317\/.362 \u25aa\ufe0f 33-of-39 (84.6%) SB \u25aa\ufe0f 54 BB \u25aa\ufe0f 147 K \u25aa\ufe0f .969 FLD%\u25aa\ufe0f 1.4 WAR<\/p>\n

    Wolkow flashed a bagload of skills in repeating Low-A in 2025, including a stellar steals volume and rate that had only been hinted at previously as a pro. He also continues to man a challenging outfield spot, flashing an arm strong enough for right but dexterity that can be a fit in center. That said, his improved K-rate (29.6%!) still leaves a lot to be desired. For a fella whose power has evaporated (just 13 homers and 31 XBHs all season), 2026 looms as a crucial development year. Gulp: Wolkow will be forced up to High-A without really proving he\u2019s mastered Kannapolis.<\/p>\n
