Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Sam Antonacci, 23-year-old White Sox rookie, has emerged as a standout performer in May 2026. Since the calendar flipped to May, he's batting .333 with a .414 on-base percentage and .826 OPS. Through his first 94 major league at-bats, he owns a .298 batting average with a .391 on-base percentage. Antonacci is not relying on power but instead excels through disciplined at-bats, walks, hit-by-pitches, and consistent contact. He has recorded four multi-hit efforts in his last seven games, hitting .360 in that span with three RBI, five runs scored, and a stolen base. He's reached base in nine of his last 10 games and has been a versatile, steady option for the White Sox lineup.
