Eight Arkansans have been ranked in the top 400 players in the 2016 class. Here is a breakdown of 2016, LHP Dylan Thomson, Catholic HS.

Overall Ranking:  National No. 161 State No. 4
Position Ranking: National No. 27 State No. 2
College Commitment: Arkansas

Thompson is a 6-foot-3 175-pound LHP with a large frame and a thin build. Mechanically he is sound with repeatable mechanics and rhythm. He works from an H ¾ arm slot with a loose quick arm. He command the strike zone with his fastball 85-87 mph. His secondary pitches both were thrown with near fastball arm speed. The curveball has 1/7 action with gradual break thrown a 68-70 mph. The change up was thrown 68-70 mph as well but has arm side run and depth. Overall Thompson projects to throw harder as he matures and adds weight. Other than physical strength he is a collegiate ready pitcher.
