10/05/2014 - College PREP - Sauget (St. Louis), IL Thomas is a lean OF that will graduate in 2016. Defensive abilities in the OF are slightly above average as he displays smooth / clean actions. He utilizes his feet well in taking proper routes / angles to track balls down. He reads balls well off the bat and works to get behind balls, playing through well. Defensive grade will continue to improve as he increases foot quickness. Throws are accurate, but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a squared setup and he tracks the ball well. Hands are loose through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side. Hitting grade will continue to improve as he works to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to load and use his lower half more. With 2 years to further develop, Thomas has abilities with time and room to improve.
