View Draft Report

A three-year starter with Troy, Thomas moved into the team’s Friday night role this spring and was looking to have a career year after impressive physical and mental development with the program. Through four starts before the season ended due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 5-foot-11, 185-pound righty posted a 0.39 ERA with 42 strikeouts and six walks in just 23 innings. While he doesn’t have overpowering fastball velocity, sitting mostly in the 90-93 mph range, Thomas gets terrific carry on his four-seamer. The riding action helps it play above its velocity and rack up whiffs. Thomas has improved the consistency of his solid, 78-82 mph slider after the pitch was more erratic in previous years. Thomas also has a developing changeup. While Thomas doesn’t have the biggest frame or the loudest stuff, he has quietly put together a strong three-year career at Troy, has an impressive history of throwing strikes and his fastball seems to have qualities that teams love.
