Preseason All State Spotlight: Tyce Thompson

March 12, 2024
Zach Boraski
North Carolina Assistant Scouting Director

Each year the month of February in North Carolina is a big one for baseball players.  With the high school spring season coming, and the off-period of November and December, players have had some time to work on their strengths and improve their weaknesses.  They have been in the weight room and in the cages.  As we enter February, Prep Baseball begins its work to continue to identify and update our notes on prospects in North Carolina. 

The Preseason All-State events have become spotlight events in the state.  This year there are 3 opportunities for some of the best players in the state to show-off their off-season gains, while working out with other top talents.  Prep Baseball will be in Greenville, NC on February 3rd, Maiden, NC on February 4th, and Kernersville, NC on February 10th.  The Prep Baseball scouting staff is expecting to see 250 of the top players in North Carolina across these three events.

Below we profile a player that is scheduled to attend a Preseason All-State event.

Scouting Report

In the box uses a vertical approach with a low leg lift. Creates natural loft and has good balance and weight transfer. The plane allows for natural loft and ability to drive the ball to both gaps. Exit velo already in upper 90's more distance will come as the body matures. Behind the plate has plenty of arm strength up to 81. Pop times will continue to get better as transfer and footwork get cleaned up. Really intriguing player to follow over next 3 years.
