Tommy
White

The alpha cat, Tommy Tanks leads the Tigers in batting average at .321 and is tied with Jones at 11 home runs. Two of those eleven home runs came in game two on Friday night against Vanderbilt. The first was a 105 mph big fly of 412’ to right center field. The second, a 107 EV, was belted 341’ to left field. White’s top EV this season of 113 mph equates to plus raw power on the pro scale. He has both bat strength and bat speed, but what separates White from most other power hitters is his ability to control the zone and use all fields. To date this season he has battled for 17 walks against 16 strikeouts and has five home runs to right field, six to left. At the pro level White projects to become above average in both his power production and hit ability. Defensively, his hands are soft enough with just enough arm strength to handle third base. Medium actioned at 6-foot-1 and 230-pounds, White will field what’s in his box for near average range and with sure hands he has committed just one error in 54 chances this spring. There is a greater than 50/50 chance that the pro game at the hot corner may get too fast for him as a permanent defensive home, especially with just playable feet, average arm strength and fringe throwing accuracy. With that stated, he’s shown improvement defensively this season and there’s good reason to think even more will be made. A bat-first prospect, White slots into the end of the first round at this point on my personal draft board.
