White Sox Minor Keys: July 24, 2025

In the most recent Farm Fortnight posted on Tuesday, I realized that Ryan Galanie not only led the organization in RBIs, but it wasn't even close. At that time he had 74 RBIs, which was a 21-run lead over his next closest competitor, Braden Montgomery. Galanie was able to pad his stats by racking up 23 RBIs over his first 21 games in Winston-Salem, but he'd still be in the running if you limited his body of work to Birmingham.

He's not having the kind of season you'd expect to be leading the org -- decent, but not overpowering, especially when you isolate it to his Birmingham line (.274/.328/.384, with just five homers over 71 games five homers). It makes more sense when realizing that Galanie has spent a lot of the season hitting third behind Rikuu Nishida and William Bergolla, two guys who can get on base and steal a base, but they've combined for zero homers over 722 plate appearances, so they're never going to drive themselves in. Somebody else has to do it.

The most recent example is literally the most recent example: the bottom of the ninth inning on Thursday. With Birmingham and Montgomery tied at 7, Nishida reached with a leadoff walk, moved to second on Bergolla's sac bunt, and scored when Galanie shot a single through the right side, sending the Barons to a walk-off winner and their 12th consecutive victory.

Galanie now leads the org in RBIs by 22.
