There is no “hiding” for 2023 LHP Thomas White (Phillips Academy, MA) when he takes the mound as, even early on in his high school career, he has established himself as a must-follow prospect. His 6-foot-4, 192-pound frame stands high atop the rubber, long-limbed and oozing projection, as he calmly and confidently attacks the zone with elite and electric stuff.

The big southpaw, appearing in his second PBR Future Games, dominated the competition to the tune of:

3.0 innings
5 K
0 BB
1 H
0 R


Relying predominantly on a heavy, 91-93 fastball with impressive arm side life, White breezed through his three innings of work en route to being named MVP of Northeast Pod at the PBR Future Games in DuBois, PA. His full arsenal was on display including a tightly spun curveball (71-72) and faded changeup (76-77) as he confidently attacked hitters throughout. The left-hander has a polished delivery with clean, loose arm stroke, and impressively controls the difficult movement patterns that a long frame can bring to a young pitcher. His upside is immense, and what makes him even more intriguing is the fact that he has handled the spotlight of being the top ranked player in the 2023 class so well; focusing on developing his own talents while maintaining a steady drive to get better each outing.

Below, a look at past MVP winners at the Future Games:
