Brett Thompson  
Relief Pitcher | Vancouver Orcas

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Thompson's move to first base is average. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Thompson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Thompson has some pop in his swing.
