It isn't uncommon to see late-round draft picks make a name for themselves in other sports. In fact, some of the biggest names in the league right now are later-round picks who weren't given a chance to shine in college.

From players such as Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers to Arian Foster formerly with the Houston Texans all the way to many consensus all-time greatest quarterback, Tom Brady, they are all players that were all later-round choices who have gone on to shine at the game they love.

But what about baseball? A sport where there are over 100 rounds of being drafted, and only roughly two percent of all players drafted after the third round ever see the majors. Are they given a chance to shine at the next level? The answer is usually no. The window in baseball is slim, if you're drafted out of high school, roughly five years to get to the majors, or you're considered a bust. Drafted after playing four years in college, usually they are given three years max to make a roster.

But what about a 33rd round selection who had to walk-on to play in college? What is his chance to make an opening day roster? According to MLBStats.com, .091 percent.

It seems like Tyler White never got the memo when he burst onto the scene for the Houston Astros this spring.

A former walk-on for Western-Carolina University heard his name called in 2013 by the Houston Astros late in the draft. Known for his bat and his ability to draw walks, White was projected to have a slim chance of making an MLB roster in his career.

Fortunately for him, White found himself on a team in need of a first baseman.

Much like any other club out there, the Houston Astros found themselves in a hole one position, first base. Ever since all-time great Jeff Bagwell retired in 2005, the Astros have struggled to find a long-term answer at the bag.

From Carlos Lee to Brett Wallace to Chris Carter to former top-rated prospect Jon Singleton, all had been give a shot to succeed and yet all seemed to have failed replacing the hometown goat.

Now, White will be given the same opportunity as those before him.

The 25-year-old entered spring training a long shot to make the Astros’ roster, battling for big-league playing time with more heralded young players like Singleton and top prospect A.J. Reed. A consensus first-string cut, White was determined to stay around for his shot to take a crack at the majors.

He hit. And he hit well. So well that in 51 at bats, White snagged 18 hits for three home runs and 12 RBI's with a .353 batting average. So, in the end, White, not Singleton or Reed, cracked the Astros’ opening day roster and now figures to start the bulk of the team’s games at first base in the early part of the season.

So, just how good is Tyler White? Is he a spring training hero or a true threat to be reckoned with the majors?

So far in 16 at bats, White has 10 hits with three home runs and nine RBI's. He also is leading the majors in batting average after the first week with a .667 average and a league-leading 1.400 slugging percentage.

"He just needs to continue to answer the challenge," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said after White made the opening day roster. “He has answered every challenge up to this point. He has hit at every level. His style of hitting, his approach, and his at-bats have been extraordinary throughout the minor leagues.”

While Tyler White might begin to slow down, his first week in the majors is one to remember. He joins the company of only one other player in the last 100 years to begin his career 9-13 or better, tying Mike Schemer of the New York Giants in 1945. While there is over 150 games to play in the regular season, teams should be ready to see what Mr. White will bring to the table.

Some call him Tyler, other have a new nickname for him after his first week in the majors. That of a deep sea killer, who feasts on his prey at the smell of blood. The most terrified fish in the sea is making his way to Minute Maid Park for the 2016 MLB season.

Tyler "The Great" White is ready to chomp his way into Houston, hungry for his chance to attack the ball and lead the Astros back to October baseball.
