Kyle Teel – MLB Pipeline White Sox #2

Talk about a first impression. Kyle Teel came out scorching hot for the Knights, collecting at least one RBI in all three games of the opening series sweep. The 23-year-old also homered in back-to-back games to open the season and reached base safely multiple times in all three games.

Colson Montgomery – MLB Pipeline White Sox #4

It was a tough opening series for 23-year-old Colson Montgomery, striking out nine times in 13 at-bats. On a positive note, he did send a home run to the opposite field for his lone hit in the opening series. Additionally, Montgomery got a start at third base on Sunday after seeing a good amount of action there during the Arizona Fall League in 2024.

Edgar Quero – MLB Pipeline White Sox #6

21-year-old Edgar Quero reached base safely multiple times in all three games of the opening series for the Knights. He and Kyle Teel are set to split the catching duties for the Knights.

Jairo Iriarte – MLB Pipeline White Sox #9

23-year-old Jairo Iriarte got the start on Sunday and battled command issues, but was able to keep the Knights in the game as they fought from behind for the comeback victory.

Mason Adams – MLB Pipeline White Sox #12

Mason Adams left his start on March 14 with discomfort in his right elbow and was later diagnosed with a flexor strain. As of this writing, nothing has been determined in regards to surgery, but it seems very likely that the 25-year-old righty is set to miss some, if not all of the 2025 season.

26-year-old Adisyn Coffey got his season started off on the right track out of the Charlotte bullpen. Coffey pitched two innings issuing just one walk and struck out three.
