Overview
- Miami left-hander Thomas White receives a 60 FV and the No. 9 overall spot, trailing only two pitchers on FanGraphs’ new list.
- White dominated in 2025 with a 2.31 ERA, 2.27 FIP, and a 38.6% strikeout rate across three levels, finishing at Triple-A Jacksonville and projected to start 2026 there.
- White details offseason work to lengthen his stride, regain extension, and lower his slot, using TrackMan targets for tilt, release height, and fastball carry.
- His pitch shaping includes a harder sweeper touching 87 mph with a goal to average 83–84, a gyro slider sitting 86–87 mph he aims to firm up, and a kick-change refocused for depth over arm-side run.
- Arizona outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt lands 35th with a 50 FV after a .289/.419/.473 season between High-A and Double-A, describing a low-maintenance, hitter-first approach where power follows contact and timing.
