January 20, 2025 Jamie Tessoff KY Scouting Director
Scouting Report
Position: RHP
Body: 6’4” 220 Pounds
Pitching: Works from a High 3/4 slot and continues to gain velocity working into the low 90’s with improved command
Fastball: Works comfortably in the 88-90 range with reports now into low 90’s
Slider: 76-79 When landed creates swing and miss
Curveball: 74-78
Change Up: 83-84
Former Future Games Righty Thompson remains as one of the top arms left on the board in The Commonwealth. Thompson’s future as a Starter or bullpen arm will rely heavily on if the Change Up continues to improve giving a legitimate third offering. For now, it’s Slider over Curveball for the talented righty from Louisville.
