Long home run from Micker Adolfo. And maybe an even longer home run trot – it’s hot! Legit power here. And swing and miss. @MLBazFallLeague @whitesox @ProspectsLive @Prospects1500 @Prospects365 @sporer @ShellyV_643 @almelchiorBB @DerekVanRiper @MinorGraphs @ pic.twitter.com/t2wWHbHYDl

Before we close things out, we’d be silly not to highlight the White Sox Instructional League where Michael Kopech made his return to the mound. Those in attendance said he reached triple digits as he worked on regaining a feel for his pitches.

Here he is striking out Bobby Witt Jr on a Slider. pic.twitter.com/g4t9kn5MaM

96-100, slider 84-88, late bite, plus. One Curveball at 78mph. Cmmd/ctrl rusty.
