White Sox news: Korey Lee pulls off ultra-rare dual role not even Shohei Ohtani has done

Korey Lee’s two-way night headlines a rough White Sox showing, as he became only the third to catch and pitch in one game for Chicago, a feat last seen in 1902. In a 12-1 loss to Kansas City, Lee tossed two innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 31 pitches, mixing an 89.5 mph fastball with a 42.8 mph floater for laughs and edge.

He borrowed Colson Montgomery’s glove in the eighth and Shane Smith’s in the ninth, a childhood throwback that underscored his versatility and team-first mindset. While the night belonged to the Royals’ blowout, Lee’s moment carved a tiny, bright notch in White Sox lore.

The anecdote sits alongside Ohtani’s legendary two-way exploits as context, a reminder of the evolving two-way conversation in baseball while Lee’s feat remains a rare modern SF-style moment for Chicago.

Did Korey Lee’s two-way night change how fantasy rosters should value him as a catcher or emergency pitcher going forward?How did Lee’s outing affect the White Sox bullpen planning for the rest of the week?What does Korey Lee’s performance say about Chicago’s catcher depth and future fantasy targets at the position?How does this moment compare to Ohtani’s two-way impact in fantasy terms?What does this imply for Chicago’s 2025 roster planning from a fantasy perspective?
