Patiño was a member of the 2025 international class for the White Sox, and was a bit of a plum pick, inking for $570,000. He hails from the lone hotbed of international talent
for Chicago, Venezuela. But don’t let that make you think Patiño was a consolation prize; the White Sox swooped in late to steal him away from the Dodgers, who felt the 17-year-old was already in pocket.
The outfielder’s debut in the DSL in 2025 was mediocre, and trimmed short by injury. But his truncated debut made Patiño’s standout repeat of the DSL look even more spectacular, as he flashed four-tool talent with hopes of power to come. There was nothing about Patiño’s full season down south that disappointed.
Some of Patiño’s teammates, even those specifically roaming the outfield, who are getting more attention among prospect hounds. But, with a nod to the broad takes anyone watching has to take out of DSL play, Patiño looks as promising as any, as he heads to the U.S. for his first ACL season.
