Chicago White Sox Prospect Named 2025 Rookie Level All-Star

CHICAGO –– An under-the-radar White Sox prospect received a notable accolade on Thursday.

Pitcher Fabian Ysalla was named a 2025 Rookie Level All-Star after his performances with the Arizona Complex League White Sox. The All-Star team features 16 players, and Ysalla was one of four starting pitchers to earn a spot on the roster.

Ysalla is a 6-foot, 161-pound right-handed pitcher, who signed with the White Sox on Jan. 15, 2023 as an international free agent out of Tumero, Venezuela. Through 12 starts and 10 appearances, he recorded a 2.02 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP with 40 strikeouts and 16 walks in 49 innings. He also had a 4-0 record and six scoreless appearances.

That effort earned Ysalla promotion to the Single-A Kannapolis Cannon Ballers. He has made one relief appearance since then, finishing with three innings, two hits, one unearned run, zero earned runs, two walks and one strikeout.
