In his MLB debut, Mike Elko made an impactful entrance by hitting a three-run home run that gave the Chicago White Sox a crucial lead in their 4-2 win against the Miami Marlins. This performance came after a strong season in Triple-A, where he batted .348 with 10 homers. Elko expressed his eagerness to contribute to the team's success, especially since the White Sox have struggled offensively. Despite not being a top prospect, his recent performance suggests he could support the team's struggling offense.
I want to come here and help us win games and do whatever I can to do that, Elko told MLB.com. I was able to contribute today and check a few other boxes, too, which felt great.
Elko isn't one of their top 30 prospects per MLB Pipeline, but given the way he hit at Triple-A it's possible he can help Chicago's offense.
