24-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Chicago White Sox
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Meidroth lost out on a roster spot with the White Sox to open the 2025 season, but his contract was selected in mid-April and he went on to start 133 games combined between second base and shortstop. In many ways, the skills he displayed in his first season in the majors matched the expectations of his prospect profile. Meidroth provided very little power (.067 ISO, five HRs) and lacked any indication that more could on the way, as he struggled to make hard contact and posted a 53.3 percent groundball rate. Despite an impeccable contact rate, Meidroth's lack of hard contact also serves to keep his expectations for a high-batting average in check. The primary positives in his profile stemmed from two things. The first was an 8.9 percent walk rate, which gives Meidroth an extra boost in OBP formats. The other positive was Meidroth's 14 stolen bases, which came as something as a surprise given his mediocre sprint speed. Even with that bonus, Meidroth projects as a one-category producer - and modest production at that - that is most useful in very deep mixed leagues or AL-only formats. Read Past Outlooks

Crushes grand slam in win
SSChicago White Sox
May 27, 2026
Meidroth went 2-for-5 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 15-2 win versus the Twins.
Analysis
Meidroth expanded the White Sox's lead to 12 with his seventh-inning grand slam off Travis Adams. The 24-year-old has already matched his home-run total from last season (5) over 122 games through just 52 contests while also raising his OPS from last season's .649 to .739. It was also Meidroth's first career grand slam.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Meidroth may not have gotten a shot at all in Boston in 2025, but after getting dealt this winter to the White Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade, he has a path to spending the entire season as a big-league regular. Public projection systems project Meidroth as one of the best hitters on Chicago's entire roster on a per-plate appearance basis, and Andrew Vaughn is the only infielder who is assured of everyday playing time. Meidroth is eligible at shortstop to start the year, but his two best positions are second base and third base, so he could add eligibility at one or two spots during the season. Unfortunately for fantasy purposes, power and speed are Meidroth's weakest tools, so he'll need to be playing every day to provide the necessary counting stats. He has a very good eye at the plate and a short swing, which results in very low strikeout rates (12.7 K% at Triple-A) and little power (ISO below .125 at High-A, Double-A and Triple-A). A strong batting average/on-base percentage and respectable runs totals via a high spot in the lineup are Meidroth's most realistic paths to providing fantasy value.
