White Sox Director of Player Development Paul Janish returns to Road to the Rate for a deep dive into the club’s post-draft and post-deadline phase. Janish explains how the Sox align scouting and development, what they look for in new draftees, and how they determine when a prospect is ready for the next level — or even the big leagues. He breaks down the balance between letting players settle in and making early adjustments, why grit and character matter as much as tools, and what it means to build a professional.
