Thompson

10/10/18 - Listed 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame. Thompson has a bigger swing, but possesses probably as much raw pop as any hitter in the class. He hung out some vicious line drives in batting practice, not getting as much lift as on previous looks and turned in a 91 mph exit velocity. Starting with a slightly narrower base than we’ve seen before, drifting forward into big separation. Would likely benefit from cutting down on some of the moving parts in swing to allow raw pop to show up more often in game action. Posted 7.19 second 60-yard dash and certainly has the type of offensive tools to impact the game at the next level. He's relatively new to the game and a somewhat raw defender with 83 mph velocity from OF, but a program willing to invest in his continued development could reap a big reward down the line.

6/27/18 - 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame. Thompson was a complete unknown coming in to the event, but that didn't last long as he was one of only a couple prospects to leave the yard during BP at the Royals Complex. Thompson could develop into a very physical presence and already possesses standout raw power; 96 mph exit velocity. Looking to lift and pull, Thompson has a significant uphill bat path and bigger swing, but showed an ability to be on time in game action. His 7.20 60-yard dash and 85 mph outfield velocity make him profile as a corner OF at the next level. Bat could easily play enough to make move to 1B if necessary. He's relatively new to the game and the upside appears significant.
