KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pitcher Noah Schultz has been impressive this season with Triple-A Charlotte.
The strong start has earned the 2022 first-round pick a promotion to the major leagues.
The Chicago White Sox will be calling up Schultz in the coming days, a source confirmed to the Tribune. The team begins a three-game homestand Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The 6-foot-10 left-hander is 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA in three games (two starts) for the Knights. He has 19 strikeouts and two walks in 14 innings. Schultz, 22, is the No. 2 prospect in the Sox organization behind outfielder Braden Montgomery, according to MLB.com. The site also ranks Schultz as the No. 46 prospect in baseball.
Schultz, an Oswego East product, is 8-11 with a 2.94 ERA, 248 strikeouts and 77 walks in 202 1/3 innings over parts of four career minor-league seasons. He was the No. 26 pick in the 2022 draft.
Elijah Evans of Justbaseball.com initially reported Schultz’s call-up.
Schultz’s progress was a topic of discussion when Sox adviser to pitching Brian Bannister met with reporters Sunday at Rate Field.
“He’s in a good spot,” Bannister said. “The velo’s there, he’s healthy. You can just see his general smile and demeanor. He’s confident with where he’s at right now. The arsenal is there.”
Schultz will soon have the opportunity to display it all in the big leagues.
