Jairo Iriarte is making waves as one of the top prospects in the White Sox system, but can he truly harness his potential? At just 23 years old, this right-handed pitcher has shown flashes of brilliance with a fastball that can reach the low-to-mid 90s and a slider that keeps hitters guessing. However, his command issues have raised eyebrows and left many wondering about his future in the majors.
As Iriarte prepares for the 2025 season with Triple-A Charlotte, the question looms: can he refine his control enough to secure a spot in the White Sox rotation, or will he find himself relegated to a late-inning relief role? With a 4.07 BB/9 rate in the minors, it’s clear that tightening up his command is crucial.
What do you think? Is Iriarte's potential as a mid-rotation starter still intact, or are we looking at a future reliever? Have you seen similar prospects turn their careers around by improving their control? Share your thoughts and experiences!
And here’s a bold prediction: if Iriarte can find his groove early in the season, could we see him making a significant impact in the White Sox bullpen by mid-April? Let’s discuss!
