Thomas White Continues Stellar Season
Last summer, the Marlins’ draft strategy led them to pluck the top two high school arms on the board, one righthander and one lefthander. The former was Oregon prep star Noble Meyer. The latter was Massachusetts southpaw Thomas White, who has had an outstanding first full year as a pro. That run continued on Thursday, when he spun five one-run innings with five strikeouts and no walks. In four starts since the beginning of July, he’s allowed 16 hits and five walks in 20 innings. He’s struck out 20 hitters in that span.
