Dru Baker Ranked No. 89 Prospect for South Side Sox

Dru Baker, a 27-year-old center fielder, is ranked No. 89 prospect for the South Side Sox. Acquired from the Rays in 2022, Baker brings contact hitting and strong defense. In 2026, he played in Triple-A Charlotte, posting a .266/.322/.504 line with 8 HR and 44 RBI. While contact remains a concern, his improved patience and power in 2026 are positive signs. His defensive versatility offers bench depth potential.
