Evan White, is an unusual prospect. He, like many first baseman, is left-handed, yet he hits right-handed. Unlike many first baseman, White has plus speed, and power is his most questionable tool. In short, Evan White is an extremely good athlete.
So good, in fact, that many scouts see White as a solid above-average corner outfielder who could play centerfield if needed. The Mariners intend to let White stick at first base, which increases his overall value to the team.
In fact, White’s best tool is his defense. He grades as double plus at first, and could win a Gold Glove in MLB this year.
