CHICAGO — San Diego baseball alum Chase Meidroth has been recalled by the Chicago White Sox from Class AAA Charlotte and is set to make his Major League debut, the organization announced on Friday morning.

He will bat seventh and play second base for the White Sox against the Boston Red Sox on Friday night at Rate Field in Chicago.

Meidroth helped lead the Toreros to a WCC Tournament Championship and an upset win over Vanderbilt in the NCAA Corvallis Regional as a junior in 2022.

A two-time WCC Player of the Week, he was selected to the 2022 All-WCC First Team after appearing in 56 of San Diego's 57 games that season, including 49 starts at second base and seven at third. He batted .329 (85-for-228) with 53 runs scored, 19 doubles, 10 home runs, 47 RBIs,  a team-high 40 walks, and six stolen bases as USD posted a 37-20 (17-10 WCC) record.

Meidroth, already one of 138 Toreros to either be drafted by or sign with a MLB team, is the 26th player in program history to reach the Major Leagues.

He becomes the fourth Torero on an active MLB roster in 2025, joining Riley Adams (Washington Nationals), Paul Sewald (Cleveland Guardians), and Kris Bryant (Colorado Rockies). Connor Joe signed an MLB deal with the San Diego Padres prior to the 2025 season but is currently in Triple-A EL Paso. Chris Murphy, who prior to Meidroth was the most recent former USD player to reach the big leagues when he got the call from the Boston Red Sox in 2023, is currently on the 60-Day Injured List.

Meidroth is the first player to have played under Brock Ungricht as head coach at USD to make his MLB debut.
