The 2025 draft class of the Chicago White Sox features a mix of high-ceiling high school players and reliable collegiate talents. Early rounds focused on position players, with low-risk collegiate selections later. Colby Shelton, a shortstop from Florida, was selected in the 6th round as the 166th overall pick. ESPN's Kiley McDaniel anticipates Shelton becoming an MLB player quickly due to his age and substantial experience. He has recorded 52 homers in 170 games throughout his collegiate career and could be advanced swiftly through the minor leagues after signing.
Colby Shelton, the White Sox's 6th-round pick, has had a productive career in the SEC, hitting 52 homers in 170 games as a lefty-hitting shortstop.
McDaniel believes Colby Shelton will be the quickest White Sox draft pick to reach the MLB, due to his age, experience and offensive production.
With 634 career SEC at-bats across Alabama and Florida, Shelton has the experience that positions him well for a quick transition to professional baseball.
Shelton's early career saw him blast 25 home runs as a freshman in the SEC, demonstrating his potential despite a dip in OPS in his final season.
