LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 Sunshine Rocky Mountain Showcase (Tues/Wed)
Austin Thompson is a 2024 OF/RHP/1B with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from Parker, CO who attends Chaparral. Thompson works from a medium projectable build with additional room to fill out and add strength. From the OF, he showcased an aggressive approach through the baseball with a full arm stroke, ultimately topping out at 83 mph. He successfully generates arm speed through release with room to loosen up and use the full potential of the frame. On the mound, he displayed an up tempo operation with an early hand break, releasing from a high 3/4 slot to top out at 76 mph. He flashed developing spin profile in the arsenal with vertical depth present on the CB. Offensively, the righty started from a narrow open base with a high hand set producing consistent contact to all parts of the field. Expect additional power potential to come into play as the barrel control refines. Posted an exit velo of 78 mph. Ran a 7.22 sixty yard dash. Good student.
