Rowley’s Thomas White, a former Phillips Andover star, has risen to No. 33 on Baseball America’s Top 100 Prospects list after an impressive first full season in professional baseball. The 6-foot-5 pitcher, drafted in the first round by the Miami Marlins, showcased a mid-90s fastball and improved breaking ball, leading to a 2.81 ERA and 120 strikeouts over 96 innings in Low-A and High-A. With his potential to front a rotation, White is a prospect to watch as he continues to develop at just 21 years old. Meanwhile, outfielders Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones fell just short of Hall of Fame induction, receiving 70.3% and 66.2% of votes respectively. Both players have seen steady increases in support, suggesting eventual enshrinement. Beltran’s candidacy was complicated by the Astros scandal, while Jones faces scrutiny over his late-career decline and off-field incident. However, with a weak class of first-year eligibles next year, both players are poised to secure a spot in Cooperstown.
