Honors:
- 2008 ACC Pitcher of the Year
Strengths:
White has a strong arsenal of pitches, starting with a fastball that tops out at 94 mph with sink. He also throws a slider that shows flashes of promise. He’s got an ideal pitcher’s body and lots of athleticism (he was a basketball star in high school).
Weaknesses:
White doesn’t have the present stuff of Stephen Strasburg or the uber-projectability of Kyle Gibson. He’ll have to improve his slider and changeup to be a starting pitcher in the big leagues.
The Future:
First 15 picks.
