He didn’t have to wait long on Day 2.

The Tucson product was selected by the Boston Red Sox with the 13th pick of the fourth round, No. 118 overall, less than 20 minutes into the second and final day of the ’25 draft Monday morning.

White became the third Wildcat to be picked, joining outfielders Brendan Summerhill (Tampa Bay Rays) and Aaron Walton (Cleveland Guardians).

An overlooked prospect coming out of Salpointe Catholic High School, White stamped his name in the UA record book. In three seasons, he socked 49 home runs, second most in school history. He also totaled 111 extra-base hits, most in UA annals.

As a junior, White notched multiple career highs, including home runs (20), RBIs (73), runs scored (63), triples (eight) and all three triple-slash categories (.327/.412/.689). He was named the MVP of the Big 12 Tournament and the NCAA Tournament’s Eugene Regional and was named a third-team All-American by D1Baseball.

White is listed on the draft tracker as a shortstop, where he played the past two seasons. He also could profile at second base, where he played as a freshman.

The last Wildcat to be picked by the Red Sox was another prolific middle infielder, Cameron Cannon, who went to Boston in the second round in 2019. The Red Sox took UA left-hander Rio Gomez in the 36th round in 2017 and third baseman Bobby Dalbec in the fourth round in ’15. Dalbec went in the exact same spot as White — No. 118 overall.

The 118th pick carries an approximate signing bonus of $642,200.

Guzman to Pirates

If you’re the starting catcher at Arizona, there’s a pretty good chance you’re going to be drafted.

Adonys Guzman continued that tradition Monday when he was plucked by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth round, No. 144 overall. Guzman follows the likes of Daniel Susac, Austin Wells and Cesar Salazar, among others, as UA backstops bound for pro ball.

Guzman was considered a draftable prospect coming out of high school. He spent his first collegiate season at Boston College before transferring to Arizona.

Renowned for his arm and elite pop time, Guzman developed into a clutch hitter with burgeoning power. After batting .265 with one home run in 136 at-bats as a sophomore, Guzman hit .328 — best among UA qualifiers — with nine homers in 232 at-bats.

Guzman posted a 53-51 walk-to-strikeout ratio in two seasons as a Wildcat. He capped his UA career by being named to the College World Series All-Tournament Team after going 5 for 9 with a home run, two RBIs and three runs scored in two games.

Guzman is the first Wildcat to be picked by the Pirates since outfielder Matt Fraizer in 2019 and the fourth UA player to come off the board in the first five rounds in the ’25 draft. Pick No. 144 carries an approximate signing bonus of $499,000.

Tonghini to Nats

Right-hander Julian Tonghini became the first UA pitcher to be drafted this year when the Washington Nationals grabbed him in the seventh round, No. 201 overall.

Arizona was the third collegiate stop for Tonghini, who had his best season in his one and only campaign with the Wildcats. Tonghini went 5-2 with a 4.25 ERA in 22 appearances. He struck out 44 batters in 25â…“ innings.

Tonghini has the type of frame (6-4, 208) MLB teams covet and throws his fastball in the mid-90s. He complements it with a tight breaking ball known as a “gyro slider.�

Tonghini is the second UA pitcher to go to the Nationals in as many years. Washington used its fourth-round selection on left-hander Jackson Kent in 2024.

The 201st pick has a slot value of $302,500. But with Tonghini being out of college eligibility, he’ll likely end up with less than that as a “senior sign.�

Cienega's Jackson to Angels

Cienega High School graduate Isaiah Jackson, who played collegiately at Arizona State, was taken by the Los Angeles Angels in the eighth round, No. 229 overall.

Jackson displayed power and defensive skills as the Sun Devils’ primary center fielder over the past three seasons. He clubbed a career-high 18 home runs as a junior in 2025 while driving in 68 runs, stealing 14 bases and posting a .310/.402/.630 slash line.

A first-team All-Big 12 honoree, Jackson did not commit an error this season. The 6-3, 220-pounder also had an impressive showing the MLB Draft Combine in Phoenix.

Jackson is the younger brother of Andre Jackson, another Cienega product who appeared in 26 games for the Dodgers and Pirates from 2021-23. He’s currently playing professionally in Japan.
