Why Derek Shomon is bullish on the White Sox bats

Chuck Garfien’s Spring Training Podcast-pa-looza rolls on with new White Sox hitting coach Derek Shomon, who shares his first message to the team and the hunger he’s already seeing from the group in camp. He explains the kind of coach he aims to be while highlighting the collective effort from hitters this spring, including standout skills like William Bergolla Jr.’s ability to bunt and the progress Korey Lee has shown after making offseason adjustments. Shomon also discusses the development of several key players, including Colson Montgomery as he looks to build off his rookie season, and the early impressions of new slugger Munetaka Murakami, whom he calls "savvy." The conversation also touches on Luisangel Acuña, the strong impression Sam Antonacci has made in camp and on the international stage, and where Jared Kelenic stands as a non-roster invitee this spring.
