3/08/26
Wiry, athletic, 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame with explosive strength. Easy to project future gains. Used a simple, tall, inward turn lift before uncoiling in-line. Continous arm stroke gains big arm speed as it works to the front. Showed two fastball shapes (4s/SNK), both playing 84-87 mph with sporadic control. Spun a tight, 74-75 slider with wipeout upside; 2388 avg spin with true sweep as he averaged 13.5 inches on it. Control for SL was better than the FB, but still inconsistent in total. Flashed an upper-70s change. While the control is lackluster for now, the stuff and the frame checks boxes, as does the explosive athleticism. Real chance to polish, high follow.

Frame / Athleticism: Athletic, wiry, 6-foot-2, 175 pound frame. Loose mover. Has upside as OF, as well.
Stuff: Fastball was spun up into the 2200s with power arm-side run at times, playing at 83-85. Best pitch is 70-72 slider that played with big sweep (12" on avg) and spun in the 2200s. The changeup was inconsistent though played with arm-side run at 76-80.
Arm Action / Delivery: Up-tempo, aggressive mover. Really gets down the mound, fastball played with event best 6'7" extension. Arm was late on occasion from the windup, synced best from the stretch. Arm action is long, full, and fast - getting to a high 3/4 release.
Summation: Thompson won me over with a really impressive bullpen and one of the fastest arms of the day. Center Grove churns out prospects and their weights program will do wonders to this projectable righty. I think this has a chance to be very loud, and the slider has the makings of a swing and miss pitch in the future. 2024 grad and current Iowa Hawkeye Nick Heitman is the comp that comes to mind when watching Thompson.
