The White Sox drafted Oswego East left-hander Noah Schultz 26th overall with their first-round pick in the major league draft Sunday night.
Schultz, a 6-foot-9, 220-pound Vanderbilt recruit, saw his velocity climb this spring, and his slider has been considered his best pitch. The tallest player in the draft, Schultz delivers from a three-quarters arm slot. Schultz’ velocity made advances this year, and at one point reportedly touched 98 mph.
