Ky Bush’s MLB debut call-up, the latest move to end the 20-game losing streak

The Chicago White Sox have made the exciting decision to promote left-handed pitcher Ky Bush to make his long-awaited major league debut. As reported by Chicago Sun-Times’ Daryl Van Schouwen, the young prospect will start Tuesday’s game against the Oakland Athletics, marking a career milestone and a new era for the White Sox as they look to rejuvenate their team in the midst of a rebuilding process. Ky Bush, a second-round pick in the 2021 draft, was part of a unique approach by the Angels, who decided to focus their 20 picks on pitching. After a promising season at Double-A, where he posted an impressive 2.12 ERA in 80.2 innings, Bush has shown the ability to compete at a high level. It hasn’t been an easy road, though, as a back injury and subsequent trade to Chicago interrupted his progress last season. Bush and Cuban catcher Edgar Quero were the prospects sent from the Angels to the White Sox in the July 2023 deal that brought Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez to Los Angeles. Even though Bush is still in his first Triple-A experience, his 6.16 ERA in 19 innings should not be a cause for concern. Overall on the campaign, Bush has maintained a 2.89 ERA in 99.2 innings, with a 10.45% base-on-ball rate and an impressive 23.4% strikeout rate. These statistics highlight his potential and ability to adapt to different levels of competition.
