Dylan Crews watched Tommy White’s legendary walk off home run in Omaha from first base.
He’ll watch White’s Major League debut from the opposing dugout.
Jeff Passan from ESPN.com reported late Wednesday that the Athletics were calling White up for Friday’s game with Crews’s Washington Nationals. White was torching Triple-A hitting .303 with nine homers and 47 runs driven in over 55 games.
The A's are calling up third baseman Tommy White, sources tell ESPN. White, a star at LSU and second-round pick in 2024, is hitting .303/.353/.465 with 10 home runs and 64 RBIs this season. The 23-year-old is expected to make his debut Friday against Washington.

The Athletics took White in the second round of the 2024 MLB Draft.
At LSU, White capped a prodigious college career. He hit 48 of his 75 career home runs in purple and gold. That total ranks eighth in college baseball history. The other 27 longballs set a national freshman home run record at NC State. In 2023, White drove in 105 runs to lead the nation en route to LSU’s seventh national title
He joins an Athletics team that lost nine straight to end the first half and is led by Nick Kurtz who watched from the Wake Forest dugout as White circled the bases in Omaha.
