It’s mid-summer. The skies are blue, save for the occasional smoky blast of a firework from somewhere in the distance. Evan White has hit a double. Some things always come at the right time. Last year I wrote about the 2017 first round pick and his adjustments to his hands and stance that coincided with a dramatic breakout and uptick in his slugging.
That torrid finish was music to the Mariners ears, and they promoted their 1B of the future to AA-Arkansas to start 2019. After a collegiate career with a flat swing that capped his pop, White seemed ready to blast off.
