    View Draft Report
    Drafted in the 14th round by the Dodgers in 2018, White decided to go to school at Washington State and since then evaluators have waited for a breakout year from him that has not come to fruition. He went 2-8, 6.52 with 49 strikeouts and 24 walks in 58 innings as a freshman, made just two starts in the shortened 2020 season and went 6-4, 4.98 with 61 strikeouts and 39 walks in 68.2 innings this year. At 6-foot-8, 230 pounds from the right side, White is an imposing figure on the mound with deceptive athleticism for his size and repeatability in his delivery. He throws his fastball from a steep angle, and the pitch got up to 97 mph in the fall, although it topped out around 93 mph this spring. White has relied heavily on his above-average to plus changeup, and during the 2020 shutdown he ditched his slider for a cutter. The cutter lacked movement, leaving him without a suitable third pitch at the moment. White struggles with his command and control, leading to reliever risk, but he has enough upside that a club that feels confident in its player development system could scoop him up.
