Brooks Baldwin has been making waves in the White Sox organization, and as we look ahead to the 2025 season, it's time to dive into what his future might hold. After a whirlwind rise through the minors, culminating in a brief stint with the big league club, Baldwin's potential is undeniable. But can he truly become the versatile Ben Zobrist type player that fans are hoping for?

Let's consider his journey: drafted in the 12th round, he quickly proved his worth, showcasing impressive stats across various levels. His ability to hit for average and steal bases is exciting, but his major league debut left us with more questions than answers. With a .211 batting average and a 35% chase rate, it’s clear he faced challenges adjusting to the big leagues.

As we gear up for Spring Training, what are your expectations for Baldwin? Do you think he can secure a regular spot in the lineup, or will he struggle to find his footing among a crowded middle infield?

Moreover, with the White Sox's recent struggles, how crucial is it for young players like Baldwin to step up and contribute? Could he be the spark that ignites a turnaround for the team, or is it too soon to place that kind of pressure on him?

Let’s also talk about the competition. With other prospects vying for the same positions, how do you see Baldwin's skill set stacking up? Is he a lock for the roster, or do you think the White Sox might look elsewhere for their middle infield needs?

Share your thoughts, bold predictions, and any experiences you have with young players making their mark in the majors. What do you think the future holds for Brooks Baldwin and the White Sox?
