White Sox select C Calvin Harris in fourth round (No. 116 overall)

Another Ole Miss baseball player has been added to the White Sox farm system.

With the 116th pick, the White Sox went with a left-handed bat in catcher Calvin Harris. Harris is known for his offense, as he recently set a school record with four homers and 16 total bases in a single game. Lastly, he was Second Team All-SEC this year and a semifinalist for the 2023 Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year.

Harris’ downside is on defense, where he gets mixed reviews for his receiving skills. He also is prone to hit ground balls, which is the last thing the White Sox need more of in their system — particularly from a catcher.
