2024 Fantasy Outlook
With Thompson, it's been all about his hit tool, dating back to high school and college. He hit .332 in college, .296 thus far in the minors and .332 in the Arizona Fall League. Thompson enjoyed the extremely hitter-friendly conditions with High-A Spokane, posting a career-high .520 slugging percentage, but this is still a hit-over-power profile and Thompson is a fringe-average runner, so the bat will have to carry his real-life and fantasy value. He has average raw power and could be a 20-homer hitter with everyday playing time. Thompson played primarily third base at High-A, but he started seeing more time at second base and the corner outfield spots at Double-A and in the AFL. He has a plus arm but lacks the instincts and actions for the hot corner. Given that the Rockies have other long-term challengers at second base (Adael Amador) and in the outfield (Yanquiel Fernandez, Jordan Beck) who project as superior defenders and/or more impactful offensive weapons, Thompson will have a small margin for error at the plate if he is to carve out everyday playing time.
