Mikey White is in his first year as an assistant coach for the Golden Eagles following his hiring in June 2022. 

White joined the Tech baseball staff following a one-year stint as an assistant coach for Trevecca Nazarene in Nashville. While serving as the team's hitting coach, he saw the Trojans improve dramatically on offense after batting .286 with 35 home runs and an .802 OPS as a unit in 2021. Under his watch in 2022, Trevecca hit a ridiculous .321 with a .971 OPS and conference records of 86 bombs and 464 runs scored.

He also served as an assistant coach at Ensworth High School in Nashville from 2020-21.

A standout at Alabama from 2013-15, White stated all 184 games at shortstop across his three-year career for the Crimson Tide, accumulating Freshman All-American, All-SEC Second Team, and two NCAA Regional All-Tournament Team honors along the way. He put together a .308/.403/.448 line throughout his career, posting more than 200 hits, 132 runs, 39 doubles, nine triples, 13 home runs, and 98 RBI.

After batting .339 with 74 hits, 48 runs, 19 doubles, six triples, four round-trippers, and 35 RBI as a junior, White became just the 11^th member of the Crimson Tide to be selected in the first or second round of the MLB Draft, taken in the second round with the 63^rd overall pick by the Oakland Athletics in 2015.

The Birmingham native spent six seasons with Athletics' organization, advancing as high as Triple-A with the Las Vegas Aviators. Enjoying perhaps his most success in 2019, White was selected as a Mid-Season All-Star while playing for the Double-A Midland Rockhounds of the Texas League, eventually earning his first call up to Triple-A ball.

During his prep career, White was originally selected by the New York Mets in the 34^th round of the 2012 MLB Draft after collecting Mr. Baseball honors for the state of Alabama from the Alabama Sports Writers Association and earning Alabama Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year from ESPN. He also helped the 2011 USA Baseball U18 National Team capture a gold medal in the Pan American Games.

White earned his bachelor's degree in human environmental science from Alabama in 2021. He resides in Cookeville with his wife Lindsay and twin daughters Norah and Evie.
