George Wolkow Fantasy Stats

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect George Wolkow hit a two-run home run in a 4-for-5 day at the plate on Sunday for Single-A Kannapolis, collecting three singles and scoring three times as well. It has been an up-and-down season for the power-hitting lefty, going through hot stretches mixed with prolonged cold stretches. The 19-year-old appears to be in the midst of a hot stretch, going 9-for-23 (.391) over his last six games, but this recent run was preceded by a woeful 0-for-28 stretch of nine games. Sunday's home run was his ninth of the year, and although he's striking out at a 28.0 percent rate, the 2023 Draft pick is walking at an 11.3 percent clip, which has in turn helped his stolen base total of 20. In all, the 6-foot-7 slugger is slashing .213/.315/.332, and he'll need to pick up the pace if he's going to get to the next level.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect George Wolkow has earned the Player of the Week honors in the Carolina League after a strong performance for Single-A Kannapolis. Wolkow went 10-for-22 with seven runs, two triples, three homers and 14 RBI to earn the award. Wolkow, 18, was a seventh-round pick in 2023 for the White Sox and has quietly stood out this season on the farm. Between Rookie Ball and Single-A, Wolkow has hit a combined .297 with 10 homers and 25 RBI in 158 at-bats. The outfielder stands tall at 6-foot-7, 239-pounds and is very athletic in the field. Swinging from the left side, Wolkow still possesses raw power as his body is still maturing, which should lead to more power down the road. Aside from the positives, Wolkow does tend to strikeout plenty and has 78 times in 158 at-bats and is something that must be corrected before climbing the ladder of the minor leagues. As is stands, Wolkow has a large amount of potential, but is years away from a potential big-league debut and should only be watched by dynasty managers at the moment.
