RHP Tanner Thomas (Arcola; Louisville commit) showed well on the bump during the State Games. The strong 5-foot-11, 175-pound righty worked his fastball up to 90 mph, while sitting 87-89 (avg. 2200+ rpm). He showed feel for a sharp slider at 73-75 mph (avg. 2400+ rpm), which earned occasional whiffs. Thomas finished his outing with four strikeouts over his two innings of work and will be an arm to continue to follow heading into next spring.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 5-11, 175.9-pounds. Athletic frame.
Hit: RHH. Tall setup, small leg lift with minimal stride. Direct, quick path, slightly uphill swing, pull-side approach. 73 mph bat speed with 11 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 88 mph. 348’ max distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 97 mph. 3/4 slot, quick, athletic arm action, fuller arc, carry through throw, accurate.
Defense: One-hand gather out front, pulls glove toward hand, confident, athletic.
Run: 6.58 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 5-11, 175.9-pounds.
Delivery: Controlled, easy delivery; medium leg kick into balance point, drop/drive lower-half, lands in-line.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm path, 3/4 slot.
FB: T90, 87-89 mph. Firm out of the hand, plays at the bottom of the zone, occasional arm-side run. T2362, 2236 average rpm.
SL: 74-75 mph. Feel to spin, 11/5 shape, flashes feel for the zone. T2528, 2411 average rpm.
CH: 79-80 mph. Plays with downer fade and occasional arm-side run. T1745, 1540 average rpm.
One of the top prospects in the state’s 2025 class, OF/RHP Tanner Thomas (Arcola; Louisville commit) has tools and athleticism packed within a strong, compact 6-foot, 180-pound frame. Thomas, who’s a 6.74 runner in the 60, sprayed line drives to all fields in BP, showing athleticism, balance, and polish throughout. He did so from a short, simple right-handed stroke that owns barrel feel (67%) and flashed juice (95.7 mph, 347 ft.), too. Aside from his offensive efforts, Thomas peaked at 92 mph from the outfield, tying for the event’s highest mark. He hopped on the mound on Wednesday night in the rain, running his fastball up to 87.1 mph, while pitching at 84-86 mph. Thomas spun a low-to-mid-70s breaking ball with tight spin off an 11/5 plane and his changeup flashed out-pitch potential, playing in the upper-70s with low spin and natural arm-side run (T16.1 HM”).
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds.
Delivery: Quick sidestep windup, medium leg lift into drop/drive delivery.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm loop, whippy, loose, 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 84-86 mph. Life through the zone with run. T2267, 2176 average rpm.
SL: 73-76 mph. Tight 11/5 action, late depth. T2360, 2250 average rpm.
CH: 75-79 mph. Deceptive, late fade and depth. T1992, 1660 average rpm.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Upright setup, leg lift trigger. Hands extend through, uphill swing, pull-side approach, simple.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 88.7 mph. 347’ max distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 92 mph. Loose, whippy, one-hop to target, strong, low 3/4 slot.
Defense: Athletic actions, plays through the ball.
Run: 6.74 runner in the 60.
Louisville commit. Arcola defeated Strasburg, the number one seed in their sectional bracket, to win their first Regional Championship in 39 years. Thomas threw 6 � innings, struck out 11, walked three, allowed one run and four hits. He also hit a two-run home run in the third inning to give the Purple Raiders the 3-0 lead.
Verbally committed to Louisville.
