With the White Sox halfway through a surprising 2026 season, here's a look at the final numbers their biggest contributors are projected to post.
Following Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals, we are officially halfway through the 2026 Major League Baseball season, and it's been a surprising success for the Chicago White Sox.
At the halfway point, the White Sox hold a 43-38 record, sitting in playoff position and in first place in the AL Central by 1.0 game. That puts the Sox on track for 86 wins and their first division title since 2021.
They've had contributions from veterans, rookies, everyday players, bench players, and everything in between. But when it's all said and done, what will the numbers look like for some of the White Sox's key players?
Here's a look at the notable stats White Sox players are pacing for with 81 games down and 81 to go.
Miguel Vargas is likely to make his first All-Star Game in 2026. And if he repeats his success from the first half, he'll finish the year with 36 home runs, 100 RBIs, 20 stolen bases, and an .841 OPS.
Colson Montgomery is on pace for 40 home runs and 92 RBIs.
Andrew Benintendi hit exactly 20 home runs in 2024, exactly 20 home runs in 2025, and is once again on pace for exactly 20 home runs in 2026. A season with 20 home runs and 78 RBIs would be his best offensive production since 2018.
The White Sox are on pace to get 18 home runs from Randal Grichuk, an unexpected contribution from a player who was discarded by the Yankees earlier this year.
On the pitching side of things, Davis Martin is on pace for 18 wins, an 18-6 record, a 3.00 ERA, 186 innings pitched, and 180 strikeouts. He too could be due for his first career All-Star selection.
Anthony Kay and Sean Burke are both on track for double-digit wins as well. Seranthony Domínguez, for the time being, is on pace for 24 saves. But he may not preserve his role as Chicago's closer for the entire 2026 season, especially with his recent performances in high-leverage situations.
Sean Newcomb is on track to fall just shy of 100 innings pitched out of the bullpen at a pace of 99.1 innings, fitting perfectly into the long relief role the White Sox had in mind when he was signed in free agency.
Not only is the team having success, but individual players are beginning to warrant national attention while putting together full seasons worthy of awards and accolades.
All stat projections and paces are based on numbers entering play on Sunday morning.
