01/18/2019 - 2019 Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament William is a talented and versatile athlete who can make things happen in a multitude of ways. As a hitter, this righty displays an open stance with active hands as he works back into a strong launch position. Barrel is delivered to and through the zone on a level path as he works to engage his lower 1/2 well, resulting in some hard hit line-drives. He gets out of the box and down the 1B line quickly, hustling every time and putting pressure on the defense. At SS, William displays active footwork and moves well right to left. Hands are soft as he gathers well, has a quick exchange and fire accurate throws. On the mound, this RHP fills up the zone with strikes. He works the ball in and out, challenges hitters and gives his defense a chance. FB now tops out at 79 mph while showing slight tailing action. Breaking ball has 11/5 shape with good action while changeup is thrown with FB arm speed, helping to create deception. Thorp is a well-rounded 2-way guy who will compete every time he steps onto the diamond.
