6. Thomas White, LHP, Phillips Academy (Mass.)
White hadn’t been seen much before this summer, and he picked his spots but showed enough in the PDP League and East Coast Pro Showcase to make him one of the top prep arms in the class. The 6-foot-5 southpaw featured a fastball that was up to 96-97 mph, a high-spin breaking ball in the upper-70s that misses bats and showed glimpses of what could be a very good low-80s changeup.

9. Thomas White
Left-Handed Pitcher, Phillips Academy
There are those that believe White is the best prep southpaw prospect available in any draft since Steve Avery was selected no. 3 overall in 1988. Better than Brien Taylor. Better than McKenzie Gore. Better than the whole lot of them. White has been a totem on the prep scouting scene since he was 13 years old. It's a whippy arm with huge projection, but already shoving gas.
White has been up to 96 and many believe he'll approach triple digits when it's all said and done. He's shown feel for spinning the baseball, primarily a low-to-mid 70s curveball with tight tilt that projects. White can also pronate and turn over a changeup. At this stage, both of his secondaries are a work-in-progress, but show big promise.
Given his size, his move down the mound and subsequent extension, the baseball explodes on hitters with life at the top of the zone. Skeptics do question the fastball command, however. That’ll be a big part of his development.

16. Guardians: Thomas White, LHP, Phillips Academy (Rowley, Mass.)
White hadn’t pitched much in showcases, only giving small glimpses of his stuff before heading to the PDP League, where he promptly struck out seven in his three-inning start. The command wavered a bit, but the stuff was legit: a fastball up to 96 with good carry, an upper-70s slider with good spin rates and an effective changeup.

White is really the only top lefty right now in this draft, so if you want a good one, you better pick this guy early.
