Scouting Director - Illinois
Today’s unsigned senior spotlight is on Bloomington HS product Jayden Thompson. This Purple Raider is a multi-faceted athlete who shows a well-rounded game. Thompson has two-way abilities as he has also shown us a low 80’s fastball on the mound.
Thompson is a 6-foot-2, 175-pound middle infielder. He shows solid hands in the infield fielding out of an athletic position while displaying an 80 mph arm across the diamond.
Offensively, he hits from a wide stance being slightly closed. His balance throughout his swing was excellent showing good bat control allowing him the ability to spray the baseball to both sides of the field. Thompson also ran a 7.22 60 and posted exit speeds of 81 mph from the tee.
