Organization Prospect Rankings

While low Class A Midwest League managers and scouts were impressed with White's bat in 2014, they also said there weren't big league hitters with physiques like his. White slimmed down significantly in 2015, losing some of the gut that hung over his belt. He responded with one of the best offensive seasons in the minors. White is an excellent hitter with at least a plus hit tool and a sophisticated understanding of the strike zone--as a pro White has walked more than he's struck out. He has a short stroke and the hand-eye to generate excellent contact. He'll run into a home run every now and then, but he projects to hit 12-15 home runs a season in the big leagues. It's that lack of elite power that keeps scouts from believing. Evaluators who like White see him as a Matt Adams-type first baseman whose hit tool forces his way into the lineup. Without the range to play third base in more than an emergency, he's likely to be a backup bat whose lack of a clear defensive position and average power keeps him from an everyday role.
