“Drafting Roch today adds another standout talent and person of impressive character to this organization at absolutely the right time,” said White Sox Executive Vice President/General Manager Chris Getz. “Roch, his family and his support structure impressed us throughout the entire process, and his experience at UCLA certainly prepared him to take the next step as a professional. An outstanding defensive shortstop, Roch brings an impact bat to any lineup, and he is a leader on the field as well as in the clubhouse.
