I heard you say your goal was to make it to the major leagues.

This year, how close do you think you are?

I don't know how close I am, but I know I'm close is everything is my hands.

That's White Sox. is everything is my hands.

That's White Sox prized prospect, Yoelke Cespitus, who is turning heads and making his presence felt here at spring training. And he is our guest today on the White Sox Talk podcast, brought to you by WinTrust.

Hey, everybody, it's Chuck Arfine, and Yowelke isn't just showing off his power with home runs in his first two Cactus League games.

He's also looking great in center field.

He threw out a runner at third base in his third game, and he's making tough catches look easy.

And this, after he missed two years of baseball, in 2019 and 2020, when he was 20 and 21 years old, defecting from Cuba, then you had the pandemic.

And last year, he had visa issues, didn't join

Haye Winston-Salem until June, and he ended the season in AA.

And he explains here on the podcast that those two years without baseball hurt him, but also

helped him.

He also talks about how close he thinks he is from the major leagues.

And we have a special player crashing the interview.

Fellow top prospect, Oscar Colos.

And props to Yuelke, he didn't learn English until he defected in 2019,

and he agreed to do this interview in English. So it's Yoelke Cespitus, hoping his major

league dream becomes a reality in 2022. It's coming your way. At WinTrust, we know true fans

show their team pride every chance they get. With White Sox checking, you'll score a Sox debit card.
