Noah Schultz Making Cactus League Debut Next Week
1 day agoChicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Noah Schultz is expected to make his Cactus League debut on February 26 against the San Diego Padres. Schultz is considered the top prospect in the White Sox system on MLB Pipeline. The team closely monitored his workload last season, as he never pitched five innings in a start. He opened the 2024 campaign at High-A and eventually earned a promotion to Double-A. Across his first 61 innings with Double-A Birmingham, the southpaw posted an impressive 1.48 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. He tallied 73 punchouts and served up just 17 free passes. However, during the early part of spring training, the team has begun to build up his workload which could open the door for an MLB debut. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his progression during spring training. He could be in contention to make his MLB debut later this season and would be worth rostering in all formats, given the strikeout upside he has flashed in the minor leagues.
