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.

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”).
