The 18-year-old Carlson is the third shortstop the Sox have selected with a first-round pick in the last five years.

With their first round pick (No. 10 overall), the White Sox selected shortstop Billy Carlson from Corona H.S. (Calif.). The 6´1´´, 185-pound prep has such a strong arm he was seen as a legit two-way player, as he also pitched for four seasons in high school.

With their second round pick (No. 44 overall), the White Sox selected outfielder-catcher Jaden Fauske from Nazareth Academy (Ill.). The 6´3´´, 220-pound prep has experience behind the plate as well, but is expected to be an outfielder first.
