Barrington's Brooks Gosswein making name for himself as WhiteSox prospect. scotgregor has the story.
Publications that rank minor-league prospects, Baseball America and MLB Pipeline being among the best, release rating lists before the season and update them halfway through the year. Drafted by the White Sox on the fourth round out of Bradley University in 2021 after prepping at Barrington High School, Gosswein split last season between low Class A Kannapolis and high A Winston-Salem.
"I'd say command is something I'm continually working on," Gosswein said in a phone interview."I think a lot of pitchers look at it like that. But honestly, I think it's kind of, 'Hey, in the past a lot of damage that's happened to me has been self-inflicted.
"Definitely happy," the 6-foot-2, 205-pounder said."Last season, I got off to a slower start so I kind of came in and wanted to make sure I started the season off pretty strong. Very happy with where it's at, especially with the hard work I put in during the off-season. In his last two outings, Gosswein walked 8 in 11⅔ innings but he kept the damage to a minimum thanks a fastball that runs up to 95 mph, a slider, curveball and emerging changeup.
Broncos coach Pat Wire remembers first seeing Gosswein at a Barrington baseball freshman camp.
