LSU Slugger Tommy White Calls Up | Oakland Athletics News

Tommy White, LSU’s home run machine nicknamed “Tommy Tanks,” is set to debut in the majors this Friday with the Athletics—after smashing 75 homers in college and proving his power can translate to the pros. Despite a strikeout-heavy approach and average defense, Oakland saw potential and took a chance on him. He’s already excelling in Triple-A, hitting 9 homers and driving in 47 runs in 55 games. And he’s not alone—former teammate Gage Jump is already pitching in the big leagues, while LSU’s pitching duo Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson are also on track for MLB stardom. The Tigers are clearly building a pipeline to the majors, one powerhouse at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
