06/16/2022 - Omaha National World Series - Session 1 (HS) Thomas continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 7.35 runner. At SS, defensive abilities are solid as he displays clean / smooth actions. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork as he works to square ground balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean but needs to present earlier and more out front. HE moves well laterally and covers ground in the MIF. Throws are accurate with carry (81 mph velocity) across the diamond. At the plate, he continues to shine through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 78 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with tight spin and late break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with arm side run. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a positive attitude, works hard, and is very coachable.
