White is off to the worst start of his tremendous college career this season and because of that he’s falling down draft boards relative to a No. 10 ranking entering the year. Like Kurtz, he’s much more of a focal point in the offense this year. He’s hit just .313/.404/.500 with four home runs, a 9.6% walk rate and 9.6% strikeout rate through just one weekend of SEC play. Some scouts are already pushing him out of the first round entirely since he has such a bat-first profile. This placement is more with the expectation that he’ll turn things around and that some team will bet on his overall college production in the back of the first. Is Seth Beer (2018, 28th) really a first rounder but Tommy White isn’t?
