6'1" 185 lbs. durable frame with a strong lower-half. Tompkins look sharp in his relief appearance in Game 1 vs. West Monroe. He competed and attacked hitters aggressively in the zone with a low-mid 80's heater and solid low-mid 70's CB, as he logged 1 2/3 IP and gave up 1 H and 0 ER. Likely an important part of the Bears bullpen this spring, Tompkins is a really good uncommitted right-hander in the state's 2025 class to monitor moving forward.
