Lucas Giolito showing sparks of old self for WhiteSox.
As Kansas City's bench coach, Pedro Grifol saw Lucas Giolito make three starts against the Royals last season. Taking over for Tony La Russa as White Sox manager this year, Grifol pulled Giolito aside during spring training and gave him a personal scouting report.
Giolito was one of the American League's best starting pitchers from 2019-21, receiving Cy Young Award votes all three years, getting an All-Star Game invite in 2019 and throwing a no-hitter the following season. Thanks to the heart-to-heart with his new manager, the 28-year-old Giolito is looking a lot like his old self this season.
"That's what I remember and that's what he's been showing. I'm really excited with where he's at right now, and obviously physically."
