Carlson was taken by the White Sox with the 10th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. The White Sox took a chance on Carlson's ceilingI loved the Sox taking Carlson because the White Sox returned to a sound process of taking a player with a high ceiling. Hopefully the White Sox see similar payoff from developing a toolsy high school player like Carlson. Should the White Sox pick first overall, that player could easily jump ahead of Carslon in the rankings. If that happens, then the White Sox made a great draft pick and will advance their rebuild even more.
