6/14/17 - H-1B: 4.32, Position Velocity: 79, Exit Velocity: 81 6’0, 165-pound, RHH built on his performance at the West Tennessee Preseason Preview by showing some increased arm strength and a little more aggressiveness in the infield. He isn’t afraid to play through the ball and sometimes can rush himself a tad, but has a good enough glove that when he’s relaxed, the plays come easily. Throws across the infield are firm and still have some carry left to them when they hit the 1B glove. Offensively, Thompson’s lower half was a little slower to get through the zone than we’ve seen in the past, but he was still able to get the barrel to the ball pretty well. A simple approach, he tends to stay up the middle and the other way. Thompson finished 1-4 with a walk in game play.
2/12/17 - 60 Time: 7.07, Position Velocity: IF-77, Exit Velocity: 83 6-foot-0, 165-pound, RHH hits from a balanced and even stance with some initial upright posture, uses a short stride and a fairly big movement down and back with his hands to get loaded, lower half fires early but doesn’t always get his hips cleared to create separation, bat path is flat to slightly up through contact that produced a lot of line drives from gap to gap in BP. Defensively, showed good hands and quick feet in the infield but did field it a little deep at times, played through the ball to lead into a loose and shorter arm through a ¾ slot, throws were accurate and firm. Solid all-around player.
