  "account": "Daniel Wright, a 24-year-old right-handed relief pitcher, made a strong start to his professional baseball career with the South Side Sox. Drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 10th round of the 2025 MLB draft, Wright initially struggled with a 5.84 ERA in April 2026. However, he quickly improved, going 2-1 with a 2.98 ERA in the remainder of the season, striking out 39 and walking only 7 over 42 1/3 IP. Wright's impressive performance earned him a brief stint in Triple-A, where he pitched one game for the Charlotte Knights in August 2026, picking up the win with a perfect inning in relief. The White Sox view Wright as a valuable prospect, likely assigning him to the Double-A Birmingham Barons in 2027, with the potential for a higher-level assignment if he continues to develop his skills.",
