Chicago White Sox Select UCLA Shortstop Roch Cholowsky With No. 1 pick in MLB draft

The White Sox took UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky No. 1 overall — a 6'2" right-handed slugger and Golden Spikes finalist who hit 21 homers with a 1.088 OPS.
Cholowsky returned to UCLA instead of turning pro, helping the Bruins stay AP No. 1 all season and finish 48–6, though they surprisingly fell in the Los Angeles Regional.
Chicago won the draft lottery after a 102-loss season (their first No. 1 pick since 1977) and hopes Cholowsky can jump‑start a rebuild.
