Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Doyle
Age: 26 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 5, NYY
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Shorter stature but strong, lean body. Durability has been a concern. Long arms. Slightly open stance, crouched over the plate. Hands start low help to allow leverage and loft into swing.
Hit: Lofty swing helps to allow impact on the baseball. Plenty of swing and miss in the current swing, though he has shown the ability to draw some walks. Currently gap power against good arms, though he's shown the ability to be more. Grade: 40
Power: Shows good power against lesser arms, but struggles to get into his power against tougher arms. Natural loft and leverage in long arms allows for him to impact the baseball, though there are concerns he'll never be able to tap into it consistently. Grade: 40
Field: Average fielder who fits best in a corner. Above average arm and above average speed play well in any situation. Times of focus and attitude have inhibited his ability to reach his defensive ceiling as a leader. Grade: 50
Arm: Good arm that struggles to get on target at times. Has a tendency to overshoot targets. Baseball can tail away from target as well. Plenty of arm strength. Needs refining. Grade: 50
Run: Good runner who's stolen 20 bases in pro ball in a season. Injuries have slowed him down a touch, but athletic body and archetype should allow the speed to come back and at least grade out as average at the next level. Good instincts on the basepaths. Grade: 50
Overall: Thompson-Williams has shown the ability to impact the game, but focus, health and ability to adjust has slowed his development. Raw tools are there to reach big league potential. Will need to stay healthy and adapt to better pitching if he's to play big league ball.
