Kyle Teel made a successful major league debut with the Chicago White Sox in a game against the Kansas City Royals, ending with a 7-2 victory. The 23-year-old catcher exhibited poise under pressure, notably working a seven-pitch walk in his first at-bat despite the excitement from a sold-out crowd. Although he made a mistake in base running, Teel quickly demonstrated his defensive skills by throwing out a base runner attempting to steal second. His performance reflected his potential as a rising prospect for the team.
I'm not going to lie, the fans were so electric. Not only could I not hear my family, but I couldn't find them in the stands.
I completely screwed up that play. I don't want to do that again. I messed up that play. I should've let the play develop a little bit and then took off for home.
Teel got a bit of revenge in the fourth inning, though, showing his defensive prowess. He caught a low and inside cutter from Davis Martin and popped up quickly to throw out Drew Waters.
