🔼 Road To The Show. It’s every little leaguer’s dream to one day put on a MLB uniform.
Former LSU right-hander Grant Taylor reached that dream after being promoted to the Chicago White Sox big league roster and joining the team in Houston this week.
Taylor, a product of Florence, Ala., is the 89th Major Leaguer in the illustrious history of LSU Baseball. LSU has had at least one former player make his MLB debut in of 31 of the past 35 seasons.
The right-hander began the 2025 season in the starting rotation for Double-A Birmingham, allowing just three earned runs across 17.1 innings, while striking out 19 batters and walking 10.
