𝑩𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔: AJ is the son of former Utah Tech and BYU pitching coach, Jeremy Thomas. I’ve known Jeremy for 30+ years…signed him to his first pro contract in 1999 and has been a staff member of mine with our various Utah events. Jeremy was a small RH’er, but when signed out of an independent Lg, was touching 97-98! Now the Head Coach at @mmhs_baseball

AJ is a “Baseball Player” and has a coaching son’s mind set. With a pop time of 1.85-2.04 at the Future Games, you sit on him for any length of time, and at the end of your look, he leaves you with the feeling of “He’s the best baseball player on the field!” The leadoff hitter and the team leader, AJ was a driving force in helping his father and teammates to the ‘24 5A State Title, as they look to repeat in ‘25 with the core of their team back!

Congratulations to A.J., his father Jeremy and mother Marcy and the entire Thomas family on this wonderful moment in their lives! 

The son of former Utah Tech U / BYU pitching coach and now Maple Mountain HS Head Coach, Jeremy Thomas (Former MiLB RHP). AJ has grown up in clubhouses and ballparks since birth. An athletic mover with a high baseball IQ. Thomas is a switch-hitter with a mirrored stroke from both sides of the plate, yet at his current experience and strength level, he is definitely stronger from his natural RH side. Features an online flat through the zone stroke to hit and as he gets stronger and develops physically, shows the mechanical parts, to really take off as a late bloomer. Defensively he shows twitch and a baseline to continue to refine and develop as a defender. As a catcher, shows leadership qualities and leads by example and how he goes about the game. Has been schooled in the fundamentals.
