Tim Anderson is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on June 23, 1993 in Alabama, Alabama, United States. Drafted as a shortstop in the first round by the Chicago White Sox in 2013, he is known for his blazing speed and good defensive range.
All-Star lefty Chris Sale was also a first-round pick of the White Sox.
Anderson then enrolled at East Central Community College in Decatur, Mississippi, to play college baseball. East Central was the only school to make him a scholarship offer. In his freshman season, Anderson batted .360 with four home runs, 37 runs batted in, and 30 stolen bases in 30 attempts. However, he received no interest from Major League Baseball (MLB), and thus was not selected in the 2012 MLB Draft. Returning to East Central for his sophomore year, Anderson had a breakout season, leading all junior college baseball players with a .495 batting average. He was named a first-team National Junior College Athletic Association Division II All-American. He committed to transfer to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
The Chicago White Sox selected Anderson in the first round, with the 17th overall selection, in the 2013 MLB Draft. Anderson opted to sign with the White Sox, rather than enroll at UAB, for a signing bonus of $2,164,000. Though expected to make his professional debut with the Bristol White Sox of the Rookie-level Appalachian League, the White Sox chose to assign Anderson to the Kannapolis Intimidators of the Class A South Atlantic League instead, where he batted .277/.348/.363.
He was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
