Career
[edit]Horn attended West High School in West, Texas, and played college baseball at McLennan Community College and Auburn University. He was apart of back to back 3A State Championship teams (2015 & 2016) in high school. Horn also competed in the 2017 NJCAA World Series and 2019 College World Series while at MCC and Auburn respectively. [2]
Chicago White Sox
[edit]Horn was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the fifth round, with the 142nd overall selection, of the 2020 Major League Baseball draft.[3] Horn made his professional debut in 2021 with the Single–A Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, and also appeared for the High–A Winston-Salem Dash.[4]
Chicago Cubs
[edit]On July 29, 2021, the White Sox traded him to the Chicago Cubs for Ryan Tepera.[5] He finished the year with the High–A South Bend Cubs, compiling a 4.98 ERA with 24 strikeouts across 7 games (4 starts).[6] Horn split the 2022 campaign between South Bend and the Double–A Tennessee Smokies.
