White Sox Minor League Update: Aug. 16, 2017

Eloy Jimenez and Zack Collins wasted no time getting acclimated to Birmingham.

Both players made Regions Field look small in their debuts with the Barons. Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a homer and a double, and Collins brushed off two strikeouts with a no-doubter of his own during Birmingham’s 9-4 victory over Montgomery.

Here’s the Barons’ broadcast feed for Jimenez’s blast and double...

And here’s Collins’ 420-foot, 110-mph solo shot:
