Fallon pitches, tough pitches off, spoiling pitches, I think that's huge, you know, for a lineup for a team.

And to kind of get that momentum going, and it was like big for, you know, the next guy hitting after you and the guy hitting after you. And it just, it really makes like that pitcher work. And it, you know, just you're not always going to get a hit. You're not always going to, you know, hit a home run. but I think know, as many, like, really good at bats you can string together is where you're going to find success one through nine.

Chase Midroth was one of the toughest outs in all of minor league baseball last season with 105 walks and an on-base percentage of 437.

He was the third player the White Sox acquired in the Garret Crochet trade,

and he might end up being the first player in that trade to reach the major leagues.

Chase Midroth is our guest on this edition of the White Sox podcast.

Hey, everyone, it's Chuck Garine here at White Sox Spring Training.

And on the podcast, Chase is going to talk about his hitting philosophy. He'll tell you who

his favorite major league player is and why. And also, he's going to reveal his favorite stat,

which is one you rarely hear. Also, why he plays the game of baseball like a dirt bag, which is a compliment.

And also with Colson Montgomery starting the season in AAA,

Chase is a candidate to be the White Sox starting shortstop on opening day.

He grew up in Southern California, but as you're going to hear,

he's got a south side mentality.
