Prelander Berroa's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-handed pitcher Prelander Berroa, outfielder Zach DeLoach, and the 69th overall pick in the 2024 draft from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for reliever Gregory Santos, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. Berroa is a young right-handed prospect who bypassed Triple-A to make his MLB debut last season. He's an interesting case study given his very high walk and strikeout rates, as well as very low home run and ground-ball rates. He might not be an immediate contributor in Chicago but figures to crack the big-league squad (presumably in the bullpen) within a year or two. DeLoach is a former second-round pick who spent most of his time in right field at the Triple-A level last year. He slashed .286/.387/.481 with 23 home runs and could open the year as the White Sox' fourth outfielder amidst new reports that Oscar Colas is likely headed for Triple-A.
