Keon Barnum

The White Sox selected Barnum as the 48th overall pick in the first-year player draft in June. He is a large (drafted at 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds) teenager with a good amount of power upside. A hint of that power was evident in his first 13 games as a pro, as he hit three home runs in 49 rookie-level at-bats. Some contact issues accompany that power, but the White Sox will be able to bring him up slowly through the organization. Look for him to spend all of 2013 at A-ball.
