    A year ago, you might have thought we ranked Ricardo Brizuela so high purely because we were scared to sleep on his talent. The righthander appeared out of nowhere, and got the relatively rare ACL-to-Low-A treatment that indicates he was a talent to dream on.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t let that high level fool you, as Miguel Santos played in just one game at Triple-A (and six in High-A), so he is truly WAY old for Low-A ball. And still, he was an unremarkable player.<\/p>\n

    With the 269th overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft the White Sox selected Jake Peppers. He is another tweener of a pitcher, but the White Sox seem determined to give him a full shot in the rotation. He struggled with command in college at Jacksonville State; in 140 innings, he walked 81 batters. On the flip side, Peppers showed a little bit in terms of a wipeout pitch (slider), so he worked in 143 strikeouts. Last season was Peppers\u2019 best in terms of control, but not a big enough improvement to warrant a top pick.<\/p>\n
