Tim Elko made his highly anticipated MLB debut for the Chicago White Sox on May 10th, though his first game was challenging, ending 0-3. However, he quickly redeemed himself the following day against the Miami Marlins, hitting a critical RBI that brought the Sox to a 4-1 lead. His impressive performance early on could position him as a fan favorite amid a season when the team is looking for bright spots. Elko's rookie potential could invigorate the team's fanbase as they seek excitement.
Just last week, like a whole five days ago, I said Tim Elko should eventually be called up to make his debut if he continued to rake.
The White Sox were tied 1-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning against the Miami Marlins. Elko came to the plate with runners on first and third with one out in the inning.
There was no chance the captain was going to miss this opportunity to produce. Sure enough, Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara left a slider up a little more than he liked and just like that, Elko gave the Sox a 4-1 lead.
For a fan base searching for something to be excited about, Elko could become an instant fan favorite if his bat provides the same level of spark it did at AAA Charlotte this season.
