Thigpen

Uncommitted. What a massive start to the summer it has been for Thigpen. After being a recent standout at Georgia State Games, Thigpen carried over his torrid pace into the Prep Baseball Classic. Collecting a huge knock late in the game from the left side, against the Slammer’s, in a two-strike count. Thigpen split the left-center field gap perfectly and motored around for a triple. Then, followed up the triple by smoking a single through the left-side. Thigpen would then come around to score the go-ahead run. The huge day did not stop there though, the next day Thigpen delivered once again in a tie-game in the last inning, this time from the right-side. Leading off the inning, Thigpen found himself in a two-strike count and smoked one into the left-center field gap, once again sprinting around for a triple. Then stealing home on a passed ball to win the game. Thigpen is the definition of clutch as he always seemingly delivers when the lights are the brightest. The rising sophomore shows tremendous power upside from both sides of the plate coupled with creating havoc on the bases. Thigpen will be a name to watch over the summer and into the spring as the upside is massive.

Uncommitted. A lot to dream on here with Thigpen. Had a monster weekend where we saw him have 4 hits, spraying the ball all over the field with hard contact, including a go-ahead grand slam to the opposite field. A switch hitter, Thomas showed the ability from the left side as well. The biggest plus is he seems to have the same feel for the bat on both sides of the plate: keeping his hands inside the ball and barrel of his bat in the zone for a long time. This is particularly impressive given his advanced size (6’3/175) and young age. Thigpen is also a good runner, using his long legs to stride doubles into triples and swipe bags.
