I thought he was decent last year (not a liability) but this year he’s been big time at 3B. His arm is as good as anyone in MLB.
Also,obviously the ultimate respect is when other team intentionally walks you. Someone needs to step up and make teams pay for those free passes.

lol. He does not have an elite MLB arm at 3rd base. It's good, but he is no where near, not even in the same stratosphere as say a Manny Machado or Matt Chapman. Put the purple and gold glasses down

Tommy's arm is more than adequate to play MLB 3rd base. They're not playing on a larger field at the next level. If he makes the throws now he will make the same throws then.

Not everyone will have an elite arm. That is why it's called elite. But he will be just fine.

Tommy has a GOOD college arm. He’s got a ways to go before he’s a starting MLB 3rd baseman. Not saying he won’t get there, but he’s not at this point. He’s much more likely to end up as a DH or at 1st.

His bat will carry him to the show and some manager will figure out how to get him in the lineup.

This will be the difference in this years team. Last year had a Crews missile following White.

you mean as a fielder right?

because he was a damn stud at the plate.

Tommy White had one of the greatest seasons in LSU history and he’s somehow still under appreciated because of what Crews was doing

He has come a LONG way defensively from last year. Probably not playing 3rd professionally but could if needed to.

Tommy is about to get RED HOT at the plate, as he seems to be warming up of late. I expect SEC pitching to be damn scared and issue a ton of walks to him. Hope the next man can do his job.

So, he's a stud just for a hitting a home run yesterday, while he has been struggling this year?
