Thomas White is a 2008 C/1B/OF with a 6'2'', 191 lb. frame from Scottsdale, AZ who attends Chaparral HS. He has a strong, well proportioned build and is a good overall athlete for a catcher. White catching tools are solid, he has a long a loose arm and consistent throw mechanics. His quickness and athletic ability behind the plate are a plus. Offensively, White hits from a spread, closed stance and never really gets his shoulders or hips open to the ball. He shows late bat speed after he gets his hands clear but is long to the ball right now getting around his core. White has the strength to hit with authority and his hands work well on contact but he'll have to make some adjustments. He's a 7.29 runner. White is also a good student.

Thomas White is a 2008 right hand hitting catcher/first baseman from Chaparral HS, residing in Scottsdale, AZ. He has a 6'1" 182 lb. frame and a broad, strong, well-proportioned body that can be considered a plus. White is a talented player and particularly interesting to consider his offensive potential at the catcher position. Offensively he is an aggressive hitter, with good bat speed. He has a flat swing plane and made a lot of very hard contact, showing his strength. White's games at-bats were better than his BP session. He took many good swings and showed good pitch-recognition skills. He is going to hit and looks to be capable of being a good run producer. Defensively White showed solid ability too. He played at 1st base during the defensive workout and showed well there. He has good feet and good hands, resulting in an accurate arm. His arm stroke stroke is short and well suited for the catching position. White is a D1 hitting prospect and possesses some ability that suggests he can be an average D1 catcher, if not better.
