Javier Mogollón
Shortstop
2024 SSS Top Prospect Ranking 61
ACL White Sox

A year ago, Javier Mogollón played both shortstop and second base for the DSL White Sox, but worked at shortstop almost exclusively in his first season Stateside. And just as important as moving to the most important spot in the infield was the mini-mite’s hitting ability translating against older competition in the ACL.

Mogollón mashed in his first pro season — and mashed in his first Stateside season. He set Arizona aflame. Among ACL White Sox mainstays, Mogollón topped the team in OPS (.930), slugging (.525), on-base (.406), homers (eight) and doubles (14). He didn’t lead the Sox in steals, but he did swipe 16 without being caught.

In the field, he logged 40 games at short (five at second base) and held his own well enough; 10 errors are dismal, but not out of line for an 18-year-old adjusting to his toughest competition yet and in his first weeks on American soil.

Yes, the ACL is the definition of small sample size. That said, despite shortstop being by far the most talent-laden spot in the White Sox org, Mogollón could be the most exciting one of all.
