Lenyn Sosa

23-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Chicago White Sox AAA
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sosa broke out in 2022, going from waiver-wire fodder in most dynasty leagues to an upper-level producer who might hit enough to play every day. He hit .315/.369/.511 with 23 home runs, a 15.5 K% and 7.3 BB% in 119 games across Double-A and Triple-A as a 22-year-old. Sosa gets by more on contact ability than pitch recognition, so he will probably need to hit for a fairly high average to play regularly. He can play strong defense at second base, which is his likely fit with the White Sox. Sosa struggled in 36 MLB plate appearances, but he should get a chance to be a utility player at some point in 2023 and if he performs, he could find more playing time. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Sosa is on the 40-man roster and made his big-league debut in 2022, but more development is needed in the upper levels of the minors. Chicago brought in veteran Elvis Andrus to serve as a placeholder at the keystone, with Sosa and Jose Rodriguez the most intriguing internal long-term options behind him.
