It’s been a long road for Grant Taylor over the past few years, but the former <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/lsu-tigers/">LSU</a> pitcher has finally realized a lifelong dream. He’s been called up to Major League Baseball.



According to <a href="https://x.com/JamesFox917/status/1932182003480133809">a report from James Fox</a>, a co-host of the FutureSox podcast, the Chicago White Sox are calling Taylor up. He’s expected to join the club in Houston.



Taylor has spent the last two years in the minors, though he has really rounded into form in the last year as he has gotten healthier. Originally an LSU signee, Grant Taylor played one year for the Tigers before suffering a season-ending elbow injury just one week before the 2023 season opener.



He’d watch from the dugout, of course, as LSU went on to win the national championship. From there, he rehabbed his way back into shape and was a second-round draft pick of the White Sox in 2023.



Grant Taylor pitched in five games in 2024 in the minor leagues, posting a 2.33 ERA. He worked his way back into form.



So far this year he has been outstanding, pitching in 15 games and posting a 1.01 ERA. He threw 26.2 innings in the minors this year and gave up just 12 hits, while striking out 37 and walking 11.



It was that kind of command that allowed him to get the call up from the White Sox. Soon he’ll make his professional debut. He’s not the only big-time former college prospect to get the call in recent days.

While Grant Taylor is about to get his debut, former <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/">Florida</a> slugger <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jac-caglianone-238866/">Jac Caglianone</a> is just getting his feet under him at the Major League level. Caglianone was called up on June 2.



Caglianone started his MLB career just 2-for-21 at the plate, but he made good contact despite not racking up many hits. It seemed just a matter of time until he started connecting and putting them in play.



Sure enough, on Sunday in a game against the Chicago White Sox, Caglianone burst onto the scene in a major way. <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/jac-caglianone-has-four-hit-game-matching-an-impressive-bo-jackson-rookie-feat/">He went 4-for-4 at the plate</a>. What’s crazier is what that feat meant.



Caglianone became only the second Kansas City player to post a four-hit contest in his first six MLB games. The other? Bo Jackson did it on Sept. 11, 1986. That’s quite the lofty company to be keeping and a sign that big-name rookies can make a swift impact at the highest level.



Could Grant Taylor be next? We’ll have to wait and see. The White Sox will start a three-game series against the Astros on Tuesday.
