As we dive into the 2025 season, one name that’s starting to generate buzz in the Chicago White Sox community is Eric Adler. Ranked as the No. 36 prospect in the system, Adler has shown significant promise as a right-handed relief pitcher, especially after a solid 2024 season where he notched 13 saves and maintained a respectable 3.15 ERA at Double-A Birmingham.
What intrigues me most is his trajectory. Coming from a football family and having faced mechanical challenges in college, Adler has managed to turn things around and establish himself as a closer on the rise. With the White Sox currently lacking a definitive closer at the major league level, could we see Adler making his debut sooner than expected?
Let’s discuss:
What are your thoughts on Adler’s potential impact on the White Sox bullpen this season? Do you think he has what it takes to step into a high-pressure role in the majors?
Additionally, considering his high spin rates and strikeout capabilities, how do you see his style of pitching translating to the big leagues?
And for those who have followed his journey, what are your predictions for his performance in 2025? Will he be a key player in the White Sox's push for contention, or do you think he still has some growing to do before he’s ready for the spotlight?
Let’s hear your insights and bold predictions!
