White Sox select RHSP Mason Adams in 13th round (No. 401 overall)

With pick No. 401 in the 2022 MLB draft, the White Sox added right-handed starting pitcher Mason Adams from Jacksonville University.

Adams is a 6´0´´, 200-pound fourth-year senior with an interesting pitching track record. As a starter for the Dolphins in both 2021 and 2022, he put up mediocre numbers 5.47 ERA, 1.349 WHIP, but sandwiched in-between those campaigns was a stellar 22 ²⁄₃ innings pitching summer ball for the Phipps Park Barracudas in the South Florida Collegiate Baseball League in which he allowed just one earned run and whiffed 23 batters.

The redshirt junior became JU’s Friday night starter for the Dolphins, taking the mound 15 times and leading the Dolphins with 90 innings, 108 strikeouts and five wins (tie). He also hit 13 batters, tied for seventh-most in program history.

Mostly on promise, Adams was ranked No. 496 in the Baseball America Top 500 heading into the draft.
