2/11/24
C Brandon Thomsen (St. Viator, 2026) has shown well numerous times in front of our staff, and his look on Sunday was no different. Sporting a lean and projectable 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame, Thomsen has started to add some muscle over the last year and there’s still room for plenty more. Currently ranked No. 35 in Illinois, he took one of the more impressive rounds of BP on the day; displaying a loose and controlled stroke from the right side, working with loose wrists into an uphill path with extension out front to create a max EV of 96.3 mph, averaging 91.1 mph with a max distance of 320’. Defensively, Thomsen has a quick/clean transfer, working low and through his target into a short, high ¾ release, producing a pop-time as low as 1.93 seconds with a max velocity of 75 mph. Soft, quiet hands work to present pitches around the zone, comfortable/confident receiver.

C Brandon Thomsen (Saint Viator, 2026) is currently the No. 33 ranked prospect in IL and it showed this past weekend. Highly projectable 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame, Thomsen is an above-average receiver with a clean catch/throw operation to control the run game. The right-handed hitter has a loose stroke with a line-drive approach to the gaps, looking to project into more power as he fills out.
5/17/23

Uncommitted. 6-foot-1, 175-pounds, lean and projectable frame with a high-waist, plenty of room to add on strength. Started behind the plate for the Lions and impressed with his ability to handle his pitching staff; vocal when he needs to be, confident and calm. Impressed with soft hands while receiving, working to present pitches in and around the zone, also showed the ability to get his hand around inside pitches. Athletic footwork, moves well into blocks and out of the chute, clean catch/throw. The right-handed hitter has a fluid rhythm at the plate into his load; he has loose arms that work through the zone with an uphill path, intent to lift. Intriguing 2026 backstop with notable upside. 

2/17/23

C/INF Brandon Thomsen (St. Viator) put together a solid all-around day, impressing both behind the plate and on the infield. Behind the plate, he reached as low as 2.02 seconds for his pop-time (T72 mph) with a quick/clean transfer and directional footwork. On the infield, he showed to have soft hands and fluid actions, securing the ball into his body before moving into a clean transfer - reaching up to 78 mph across the diamond. At the plate he has smooth pre-pitch actions with a fluid swing that stays on-plan and was on the barrel a lot throughout his round. Thomsen also ran a 7.32 60, above-average for his age.
