Scouting Report

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 45 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 40

Thompson was a solid prospect as a Florida high schooler, landing in MLB Pipeline’s Top 200 in 2020. He wasn’t taken in the shortened five-round Draft that summer and he headed to Florida with the scouting industry knowing he’d be eligible again in two years. He put up solid numbers as a freshman with the Gatos then hit well in a brief stop in the Florida Collegiate Summer League, a trend that’s continued this spring, allowing him to move up Draft boards.

Thompson has long shown a good feel to hit from the left side of the plate with a very good approach. He can use the whole field and drive the ball to the gaps, rarely missing a fastball, though he struggles a bit more with softer stuff. The question in terms of his offensive profile comes in trying to project how much power he’ll have. There’s plenty of raw pop there and a sense there will be strength gains in his 6-foot-3 frame, but he has more of a hit over power approach.

A shortstop in high school, Thompson played right field with Florida as a freshman and saw time there and at third this past fall, but most scouts feel an outfield corner is his best long-term home at the next level. Wherever he plays, it’s his left-handed bat that will carry him and potentially get him drafted in the top three rounds.

When the Rockies used two of their three top 40 selections in the 2022 Draft to take college hitters, the hope was that they’d ascend to the big leagues quickly. Jordan Beck, taken No. 38 overall, is up with Colorado. Thompson, taken No. 31 overall, has taken a little more time, but now appears to be on the cusp of joining him. An elbow injury slowed him in his first full season, though he made up for it with a strong Arizona Fall League. He wasn’t able to keep the momentum In Double-A in 2024, but he turned in a solid 2025 season with Triple-A Albuquerque, earning a spot on the 40-man roster in the offseason.

Taking away Thompson’s awful open to the season, his numbers from 2025 pop even more, posting a 1.007 OPS and 141 wRC+ from May 1 on. Once he adjusted to the advanced level of pitching in Triple-A, he got back to being the guy with outstanding left-handed hitter with a strong approach. He can drive the ball to all fields and there’s just enough power to keep pitchers honest, and he did a better job of being a bit more patient at the plate. 

Even with some mild offensive struggles, there’s been confidence his bat would work in some capacity in the big leagues, but finding a place to play him defensively has been a stiffer challenge. He saw time a third, second and first base, but he never looked natural on the dirt, and his first exposure to the outfield was rough. But he’s worked hard and now can make the routine play in a corner, paving the way for a potential 4th-outfielder gig, or the long side of a platoon, though there’s still the chance his bat could carry him to an every day role.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 45 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 45

The Rockies had three picks in the Top 40 of the 2022 Draft and they used all three to go after college talent, first with pitcher Gabriel Hughes at No. 10 overall and then with a pair of well-regarded college hitters in Thompson at No. 31, followed by Jordan Beck at 38. Thompson was thought to be one of the best pure hitters in the college game at the time and has shown glimpses of living up to that billing as a pro. Though he missed a chunk of his first full season with an elbow injury, he still made it to Double-A and turned in a strong Arizona Fall League performance in 2023. That didn’t carry over to the start of his 2024 season back in Hartford, but there were encouraging signs in the second half.

The Rockies think the adjustments Thompson made as the season went on bode well for him reaching his offensive ceiling. He still has a smooth left-handed swing and is capable of using the whole field, hitting the ball hard for extra bases. He’s had a little difficulty keeping weight on his 6-foot-3 frame, but he showed up in Arizona after his offseason more physical, which should help him get to a little more power. Because he trusts his feel to hit so much, he sometimes isn’t patient enough and increased discipline could allow him to get more pitches to drive.

The hardest thing to figure out has been where Thompson could play defensively. He’s seen time at third, second and first on the dirt, but he may have finally found a home in left field, looking more athletic than he has anywhere on the infield. Removing defensive stress could also help him unlock his offensive potential, with the knowledge it’s the bat they were buying in the first place.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 45 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 45

In two years at the University of Florida, Thompson established himself as one of the best pure hitters in Division I baseball. After hitting .354 with a 1.006 OPS in his Draft-eligible sophomore season with the Gators, the Rockies drafted him No. 31 overall in 2022 with a compensation pick they got for losing Trevor Story to the Red Sox via free agency. Though he missed more than a month with an elbow injury in his first full season, Thompson still established himself as the best pure hitter in the system, mashing his way to Double-A and finishing by hitting .338 in the Arizona Fall League.

The left-handed-hitting Thompson has a nice package of approach, gameplan, pitch recognition and swing mechanics that have led to success pretty much wherever he’s been. He likes to use the whole field, showing extra-base thump and consistently hard contact. He definitely has the bat speed and strength to eventually forecast 15-20 homers a year without selling out for power.

Thompson has bounced around quite a bit defensively since joining the Rockies. He's manned both outfield corners, as well as third and second base, and he’s even tinkered a little bit at first. He’s probably at his best and most athletic in an outfield corner if he were to settle into one spot, but there have been times when he’s been capable, albeit less than smooth, at making plays at second. The keystone and the outfield corners will probably be his focal points moving forward, but there’s comfort in knowing there’s some flexibility as to where they can get his bat into a big league lineup when he’s ready.

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 45 | Run: 45 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 50

After not being selected in the shortened 2020 Draft, Thompson headed to Florida knowing he’d be able to start his pro career two years later as a Draft-eligible sophomore. He hit well in both springs as a Gator, and he cemented himself as one of the better pure college hitters in the 2022 class after posting an OPS north of 1.000. The Rockies gave him full slot value, $2.43 million, as the No. 31 overall pick in the Draft, and he hit over .300 in his 26-game pro debut.

It's hard not to like Thompson’s setup and swing from the left side of the plate. He has a very solid approach and sticks to his gameplan with conviction. He’s always been a hit-over-power type, one who hunts doubles and not home runs, but there’s plenty of extra-base authority for him to tap into. He’s never going to sell out for power, but 15 or more homers a year in the big leagues isn’t unreasonable.

Thompson was a shortstop in his prep days, and while the Gators gave him some time at second base, he mostly manned right field. He likes playing on the dirt, and the Rockies worked third base back into his game late in the year, thinking he has the actions and more than enough arm for it. He’ll keep up versatility by playing a corner outfield and third, giving the Rockies options to get his advanced bat into the lineup.
