02/06/2022 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Rocklin, CA Tyler is a 2022 graduate coming out of Virginia City High School in Nevada. He's a quick-twitch athlete (6.99 60 yard dash) that worked out for Baseball Factory as a catcher and a pitcher. Behind the dish, he showed a solid lower half displaying power out of the crouched position to get the ball out of his hand quickly and efficiently coming in as low as 2.01 seconds on his pop times. He flashes extension when he sticks pitches and shows cat-like movement on balls in the dirt. At the plate, he flashed consistent line-drive power with balls being hit as hard as 85mph. He sees the ball deep into the zone and can still deliver the barrel with his quick hands. On the mound, he showed us a 4 pitch mix (fastball, curveball, slider and changeup). His best pitch on this day was his curveball with 11/5 shape, solid break and frequent command. Thompson should be able to contribute at the collegiate level with his interesting mix of power and speed.
