  White is one of the most accomplished power hitters in college baseball this century. He produced a historic freshman season with North Carolina State in 2022, when he hit 27 home runs, then transferred to LSU in 2023 and hit 24 more homers. That season he also won a College World Series championship alongside Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews. White then added 24 more home runs in his 2024 draft season, giving him 75 for his career to go with a .355/.419/.704 batting line. He ranks in a tie for eighth place on the all-time college home run list, accomplishing the feat in just three seasons. A 6-foot-1, 228-pound third baseman, White’s profile is driven by his contact ability and power. He employs a wide setup in the box that gets even wider in two-strike counts with no stride. He uses his natural strength and electric hand speed to drive the ball to all fields without much lower half usage at times. His career 14.5% strikeout rate is low for a slugger of his caliber and speaks to his impressive pure contact skills, though his 8.2% walk rate also points to his aggressive swing decisions. He swings the bat often and expands the zone at a high clip, though he’s made that approach work for him in college. White is a bottom-of-the-scale runner who is a risk to move to first base, though he did improve defensively at the hot corner in 2024 and has arm strength, if not the mobility and range, for the position in pro ball.
