Stays in the line to the plate, at times lands open. Fastball was heavy at 86-88 with some late life. Breaking ball was 70-72 with late break, but erratic; more of a downer type pitch. Change-up was 77-79 with some sink.

Summer 2020: Senior RHP Nate Thomas (Northern Illinois) creates steep downplane from his 6-foot-3 frame and high slot which allows him to drive his heavy, low-90s fastball to the bottom of the strike zone. He has an aggressive, “here it is, try to hit it” approach without much use of his offspeed.
