You won’t find 5-foot-6 second baseman Rikuu Nishida on any White Sox top 30 prospect lists, but the 23-year-old Japanese leadoff hitter has played a big role on every minor league team he’s played on since the White Sox drafted him in 2023. Last season, his 114 runs scored led all of the minor leagues. Chuck Garfien speaks with Nishida, Sergio Santos, Noah Schultz and Jacob Burke about everything that the Sox under-the-radar prospect brings to the table.
