The Port Jefferson native spent the first four seasons of his professional career (2019, 2021-23) in the Chicago White Sox organization, peaking at the Double-A level. In 205 games during that span, he batted .269 with 18 homers, 109 RBIs, 106 runs, 196 hits, 47 doubles, four triples, 81 walks and a .775 OPS.
