    Scouting Report

    The Red Sox got their second day of the MLB Draft started by selecting Mason White, a shortstop from the University of Arizona. White was the 118th selection, and was ranked 143rd on MLB Pipeline's draft board. 

    White grades out as a well-rounded prospect with a powerful swing from the left side of the plate. He finished this season hitting .327 with 20 homers. His power is his calling card, but Pipeline also notes that some scouts are worried about his long-term ability to avoid strikeouts, as his long swing comes with a ton of whiffs.

    He may stick at shortstop, but White can play across the infield as well. He played some third and second throughout college, so it will be interesting to see where the Red Sox want to develop his defense. He is an average runner, so if they move him to the outfield, it will likely be into one of the corners.

    Overall, White presents a fun profile with bat speed and big-time power. If he can develop a better approach and cut down on his whiff rate, he has a chance of accelerating through the team's farm system.
