Thomas White an Intriguing High-Strikeout Pitcher to Stash
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Thomas White has been racking up strikeouts at Triple-A, and he could be promoted to the majors sooner rather than later. When he does arrive in Miami, he'll be an immediate fantasy baseball option given his ability to pitch deep into games and rack up strikeouts. Through three games (12.2 innings) at Triple-A this year, he has a 2.95 FIP with 13.50 K/9, 2.84 BB/9, and 0.71 HR/9. The former first-round pick headlines his repertoire with a mid-90s four-seam fastball that has surrendered an impressive .083 xBA. He uses a sweeper with 14" of horizontal break to miss bats, inducing a 45.8% whiff rate. He also throws more of a true slider, a changeup, and a splitter. Between his results at Triple-A and his advanced feel for such a complex mix, White has the makings of an impact starter in the majors. Fantasy managers should stash him now while he's still available.
