After a historic freshman year at NC State in which he hit .362 with 27 home runs, White entered the transfer portal and moved to LSU where he didn’t miss a beat and turned in another sensational season while helping power the Tigers to a College World Series championship. The 6-foot, 236-pound third baseman is one of college baseball’s premier sluggers. Between two seasons he has hit .368/.429/.740 with 51 home runs and 36 doubles. White is physical with huge raw power and electric hand speed that allows him to homer to all fields. What makes him particularly dangerous to opposing college pitchers are his standout bat-to-ball skills. He has an overall 75% contact rate as a college hitter, but an 85% in-zone contact rate and connects against all pitch types equally well. He loves to swing the bat and will expand the strike zone with an aggressive chase rate, which is perhaps the lone offensive question mark scouts have when projecting him in pro ball. White is a fine enough college third baseman but scouts expect him to make the shift over the diamond to first base at the next level, which will place more strain on his hitting chops. Even with a right-right first base profile, White has a chance to warrant a top-10 selection.
