White Sox announce 2021 Draft signings

0

CHICAGO – The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms with all 20 of their selections from the 2021 First-Year Player Draft.

 

The White Sox also agreed to terms with five undrafted free agents:

 

  • Right-handed pitchers Zach Cable (Oklahoma State University), Everhett Hazelwood (University of Kansas) and Kohl Simas (San Diego State University);

 

  • Left-handed pitcher Garrett Schoenle (University of Cincinnati);

 

  • Catcher Nick Thornquist (University of Texas-San Antonio).

Twins sign 2021 first-round pick Chase Petty

0

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL, MN – The Minnesota Twins announced today the signing of their first-round pick, right-handed pitcher Chase Petty from Mainland Regional High School (NJ), whom they selected with the 26th overall pick in the 2021 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

 

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound right-hander was a four-year starter for the Mustangs. His prep career culminated this season, when he was named the 2021 New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year after going 6-1 with a 1.15 ERA (48.2 IP, 8 ER) and 99 strikeouts compared to just 17 walks his senior season. He threw a no-hitter on April 28 vs. Millville, the same high school that Los Angeles-AL’s Mike Trout was drafted out of in the first round in 2009. Petty fanned a career-high 18 batters with just one walk in 7.0 innings in the start.

 

The 18-year-old was ranked the 27th-best prospect entering the draft by MLB.com and 29th best by Baseball America. He was also listed as the second-best right-handed pitcher and ninth-best high school player in the country by Perfect Game. He’s from Somers Points, New Jersey, the same hometown as Twins pitcher Cody Stashak, a 13th-round selection in the 2015 First-Year Player Draft.

 

Petty will report to the CenturyLink Sports Complex in Fort Myers, FL.

Ranked as the Athletics ninth-best prospect in the system by MLB.com, Deichmann played for Mesa in the Arizona Fall league following the 2019 season and was named to the All-AFL Rising Stars team after leading the league with eight home runs in 23 games.

 

Palencia, 21, is in his first professional season after he signed with Oakland as an international free agent out of Venezuela in February of 2020. The five-foot 11-inch righthander has made six starts for Low-A Stockton this season, going 0-2 with a 6.91 ERA (11 ER/14.1 IP), six walks and 14 strikeouts.
