THOMAS WHITE LHP
Baseball America
|November / December 2025
Born: September 29, 2004.
-
B-T: LL. HT: 6-5. WT: 240.
Drafted: HS—Andover, MA, 2023 (1st round supplemental).
Signed by: Alex Smith.
TRACK RECORD: The top high school lefthander in the 2023 draft class, White signed with the Marlins for a well over-slot $4.1 million as the 35th overall pick. He wasted no time making an impact in his first full pro season, striking out nearly 30% of hitters with a 2.81 ERA across two Class A levels in 2024. He remained on his meteoric trajectory in 2025 with a 2.31 ERA and dominant 38.6% strikeout rate while advancing from High-A Beloit to Triple-A Jacksonville. Control remains White's lone blemish. His walk rate climbed from 9.2% in 2024 to 13.6% in 2025, and he has said he plans to overhaul his delivery ahead of his fourth professional season.
