View Draft Report
A starter at Arkansas-Little Rock, Thoele's future is almost assuredly in the bullpen. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound redshirt junior has a great arm, as he'll sit 90-95 mph as a starter and he'll pop a 96-97 at times. That velocity would likely become more consistent in the bullpen and the hope is such a move would also allow him to sharpen his slurvy slider. Thoele's control is well below average, although as bad as it was this year (47 walks in 63 innings), it's actually somewhat improved.
