Meet the Prospects: Alex White (Pitcher – UNC-Chapel Hill)

I apologize for my absence from writing, as I’m sure all 10 of our readers were waiting anxiously to read about Alex White. Well I’m back so let’s get to work.

Alex White is a pitcher for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, he is a 6-3 200 pound junior for the Tar Heels and has compiled a 19-10 record in 33 starts in his first two years at North Carolina. In those years he has struck out 196 batters while walking 90 in 200 innings pitched. White did more damage as a sophomore for UNC when he became their number one starter; he earned 13 of his 19 victories that year while striking out 113 of his 196 punch-outs. The most alarming stat from White so far has been the number of walks he has allowed; he walked 90 men in his first two seasons in Chapel Hill. His sophomore year, White was named First-Team All-ACC team and he was a third-team All-American

This season for the Tar Heels, White is 7-1 in 10 starts with a 3.36 ERA; he has struck out 77 batters and walked 26 in 69.2 innings pitched, so he has improved on his walk rate a little from his first 2 years. His control is something that still needs work but he has great stuff with the great ability to strike hitters out which is why scouts and mock drafts have him going anywhere from the seventh overall pick to the Braves up to the third overall pick to the Padres.

Here’s a video of White from when he was in High School:
