Joshua Lincoln White (born November 24, 2000) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2026.

Amateur career

White attended Monte Vista High School in Danville, California, where he pitched to a 0.92 earned run average (ERA) and 77 strikeouts as a senior in 2019.[1] White enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, where he played college baseball for the California Golden Bears. In 2022, he appeared in 16 games and went 2–6 with a 5.05 ERA and 91 strikeouts.

Professional career

The Miami Marlins selected White in the fifth round of the 2022 Major League Baseball draft.[2] White made his professional debut in 2022 with the Florida Complex League Marlins and he also played with the Jupiter Hammerheads, posting an ERA of 6.55 ERA over 11 innings. In 2023, he played with Jupiter and the Beloit Sky Carp and pitched to a 2–7 record and a 3.46 ERA over 65 innings. White opened the 2024 season with Beloit and was promoted to the Pensacola Blue Wahoos during the season, and ended the year with a 2–1 record, a 3.02 ERA, and eighty strikeouts over 59+2⁄3 innings between the two teams.[3] White was assigned to Pensacola to open the 2025 season and promoted to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in June.[4] Over 45 appearances between the two teams, he went 10–1 with a 1.86 ERA and 107 strikeouts over 67+2⁄3 innings.[5] On November 18, the Marlins added White to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[6]

White was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville to begin the 2026 season.[7] Across his first 17 appearances for the Jumbo Shrimp, he logged a 4-0 record and 1.33 ERA with 28 strikeouts and one save.[8] On May 31, 2026, the Marlins promoted White to the major leagues for the first time.[9] He made his MLB debut that day against the New York Mets, recording one out while giving up four walks and five runs; he was optioned back to Jacksonville the following day.[10]
