SEATTLE -- With snow on the ground and temperatures in the teens outside his home in Columbus, Ohio, Mariners first-base prospect Evan White isn't having a tough time imagining the warmth of sunshine and sounds of baseball that will greet him when he reports to his first professional Spring Training next month in Peoria, Ariz.
"Oh my gosh," the 2017 first-round Draft pick said by phone this week after working out at an indoor facility in nearby Ohio Dominican University. "I'm itching and ready to go."
The Mariners are equally ready to see White when their Minor League camp opens in February.
