Former Clemson baseball shortstop Eli White was the spark plug for Atlanta Saturday evening, finishing 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBIs, and a run scored in the Braves’ win over the Mets. It was a night where every time he stepped in the batter's box, it turned to gold.
His biggest swing came on a cutter, and he did not miss it. White’s homer left the bat at 106.6 mph and traveled 390 feet, giving Atlanta one of its loudest swings of the game. He also had another ball ripped at 104.8 mph.
White always had the tools. Clemson fans saw it years ago when he was a strong-armed shortstop with speed, athleticism, and enough bat to make things happen. During his Clemson career, White hit .275 with a .375 on-base percentage, eight home runs, 61 RBIs, 104 runs, and 36 steals across 153 games.
He was drafted three times, eventually signing with the Oakland Athletics after being selected in the 11th round in 2016.
