• 32nd overall: Will Smith
• 36th overall: Jordan Sheffield
The Draft continues Friday with Rounds 3-10. The MLB.com preview show begins at 9:30 a.m. PT, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 3-10 beginning at 10 a.m. PT.
White, 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, missed his freshman season with Tommy John surgery and was a reliever in 2015 and a starter in 2016. This year he went 3-6 with a 3.72 ERA, 118 strikeouts and 27 walks in 92 innings.
"He was kind of a second-half performer," said scouting director Billy Gasparino. "He was a little slow coming off Tommy John surgery two years ago and was a reliever last year, but at 6-4 he has a projectable body and he got up to 95 [mph] late in the year with multiple-strikeout games.
"He has a plus slider, he's big, physical and his arm has really recovered. We feel like he's trending up and has a good chance to be a major rotation starter."
