Colton McIntosh’s career with the Washington Huskies was very short, in fact, he only pitched 8 2/3 innings over his three years on Montlake. But despite that extremely limited sample size, he was still able to sign a minor league contract to begin his professional career with the Chicago White Sox.
He started his career at Paradise Valley Community College in Phoenix, Arizona, where he accrued a 4.10 ERA with 60 strikeouts and 43 walks over 59 1/3 innings during the 2021 season before transferring to Washington in 2022.
In 2022, he made 4 appearances and worked 7 1/3 innings without allowing a run with 14 strikeouts and 4 walks, including a career-high 6 punch outs against UC San Diego.
After not playing in 2023, McIntosh only pitched in two games for Jason Kelly’s Huskies in 2024 before his final year of eligibility was cut short due to an injury. He turned in a scoreless inning against Stanford on March 10, before allowing 3 earned runs over 2/3 of an inning against Oregon State on March 24.
Now, he will join a farm system with the White Sox that was ranked No. 20 by MLB Pipeline at the start of the season and could be seeing an influx of talent soon if the team decides to deal star pitcher Garrett Crochet and center fielder Luis Robert at the looming trade deadline.
