ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 FG had Thompson as #86. "Super smooth prep righty with solid average breaking stuff." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 idk if he makes it to the Sox, but wouldn't mind rolling the dice on Graeme Stinson in the 3rd round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoedairy Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sounds like hes got the talent and hopefully sox saw something that they thought they could fix to get his command. havent had a hs pitcher to follow in a while so it'll be interesting to follow him through the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Supposedly a super nasty 12-6 breaking ball to go with his mid-90s (at times) fastball. Looked at some vid and his breaking pitch really looks a lot like Cease's IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 9 minutes ago, Flash said: Yeah...those other RH hitters like Mays, Aaron, Hornsby, Pujols, DiMaggio couldn't hold a candle to him. I'd take peak Frank Thomas over ever single person you listed. DiMaggio played in an era where Frank Thomas wasnt allowed to play. So hard pass there. Aaron never peaked where Frank did. Mays all around was much better but as a hitter soley, during peak years, he was not frank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their video shows him as a righthander, description says he's a southpaw.

GreenSox Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I had a feeling the Sox would take a prep pitcher in round 2. they really could use the upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackDoorBreach Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Idk if I like that with our #2 pick. Surely there was another pitcher in that range that didn't have an 8 MPH fastball deviation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though after watching him yesterday I'm not sure he's got upside beyond a #4 starter. I don't really even think he'd make a particularly good reliever either. EDIT: I'm sorry Tommy, I love you.

That is way too much variation to not be mechanics-related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that his best pitch is a secondary pitch right now. Obsession with velocity is overrated. Love that they took a kid with a nice fastball but advanced secondary.
