School: Oklahoma State Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted Age At Draft: 24.4 Thompson began his college career at South Dakota State in 2017 as a slightly old 19-year-old freshman. He then transferred to Palomar (Calif.) JC, then transferred to Kentucky, but redshirted there in 2019. So Thompson still had eligibility remaining to be a 24-year-old sixth-year senior for Oklahoma State in 2022. He took advantage of that eligibility this spring and hit .350/.453/.610 with 14 home runs, 20 doubles and nearly as many walks (44) as strikeouts (46). Thompson has only average power despite his power display this year. He’s a potentially useful org player as a senior signee, but his age may prove disqualifying for many teams.
