Our Sox Populi staff combines their prospect lists each offseason, coming up with the Top 100 players in the system. We’ll be summarizing and counting them up here, five at a time, leading up to the regular season.

45
Jarold Rosado
Right-Handed Reliever
Winston-Salem Dash
Baseball Cube Rating 56.17
Like Trey McGough in our last edition, Rosado is turning out to be a pretty fine lottery ticket in exchange for Paul DeJong at last year’s trade deadline. He has closer makeup and is making the most of many opportunities with his new org. A strong year in Birmingham could catapult him into 2026 bullpen consideration on the South Side.

44
Adisyn Coffey
Right-Handed Reliever
Charlotte Knights
Baseball Cube Rating 52.83
OK, talk about consideration for the 2026 South Side pen, it’s somewhat shocking that Adisyn isn’t getting a closer look this year in Cactus League play. He is the No. 1 closer candidate for the White Sox — who, by the way, don’t have a closer. (Yeah, yeah, “they don’t need one this year.”)

43
Sam Antonacci
Second Baseman
Kannapolis Cannon Ballers
Baseball Cube Rating 67.38
As a 2024 fifth-rounder, Antonacci was the highest-selected infielder last summer for the White Sox. True to the recent directions of the ballclub, there is a lot of plate discipline in his game, and a first full pro season 2025 should give him ample opportunity to move up fast.

42
Prelander Berroa
Right-Handed Reliever
Chicago White Sox
Baseball Cube Rating 59.33
Kinda wild but kinda electric, Berroa was much better on the South Side last year than he was in Triple-A. That trivia was made moot by an arm injury, which is rumored to be headed toward Tommy John surgery, If so, Berroa won’t be back fighting for a spot in the South Side pen until 2026.

41
Riley Gowens
Right-Handed Starter
Birmingham Barons
Baseball Cube Rating 73.33
The best chance of reaping a reward from 2023’s Aaron Bummer megadeal rests on the shoulders of Libertyville’s own Gowens — and to be true, he’s showing nothing but solid signs of delivering a bounty. In his first full pro season (drafted in 2023), Gowens grinded his way all the way up to Birmingham, and barely batted an eye once there. One weakness in his game, perhaps truly the only one, is the big fly.
