Dylan Thomas

A 6-foot-4, 205-pound reliever, Thomas has stymied batters out of the Hawaii bullpen for two years now thanks to a heavy diet of sliders. While Thomas did get three starts this spring during his redshirt junior season, he’s worked mostly out of the bullpen, posting a 1.84 ERA in 49 innings, with 52 strikeouts and just 11 walks. Thomas mostly works in the 89-91 mph range with a fastball that has plenty of cutting life, and also throws an occasional changeup. His slider is his go-to pitch now, though scouts are curious about what he would look like at the next level if he added a few ticks of velocity and got another chance to start. He’s a strong strikethrower and rarely beats himself, but an unusually calm demeanor on the mound makes scouts think he could also thrive in a reliever role.
