The White Sox nabbed a pair of college mashers in the first and second round of the 2017 draft. That second round pick, Gavin Sheets, has been finding the “mashing” more difficult in high-A this season, but he’s still kept up a very good season, with a .292 batting average and a .370 on base. On Monday, Sheets had a big game for Winston-Salem, going 3-4 with 3 doubles, driving in 3 runs.

If it were just based on college production, Seth Beer would have been a top-10 draft pick this June, but his limitations defensively and previous struggles when playing in wood bat leagues led to him dropping to the 28th overall pick by the Houston Astros. So far, he’s showing no issues with a wood bat. After a 1.090 OPS at Tri-City forced a promotion to Quad Cities, he hasn’t slowed down, hitting for a bit less power, but putting up a tremendous batting average and showing good plate discipline. Monday night, however, he was able to finally get his first home run for Quad Cities, so he could be primed for a power surge as well.
