5/15/25 | Rookie Mike Vasil plays it cool in unlikely journey to White Sox bullpen. Less than two months ago, relief pitcher Mike Vasil wasn't even expecting to be on a big league roster. On Wednesday, he notched his first big-league save in the White Sox' 4-2 win over the Reds — the first time Vasil had been called on to close a game since his senior year at Boston College High School. “I now know why those guys get paid a lot, because my heart was beating probably a thousand beats per minute,” Vasil said of hearing his name called to go out for the bottom of the ninth inning. Manager Will Venable has looked to the 25-year-old rookie at a steady clip since the Sox plucked Vasil from Tampa Bay as a Rule 5 Draft pick a few days before Opening Day.
