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.

Makes Double-A debut
The Rockies promoted Thompson from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
In his Double-A debut Tuesday, Thompson served as Hartford's designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. One of the top prospects in the Colorado system, the 22-year-old third baseman earned the bump up to Hartford after slashing .323/.399/.520 with seven home runs and 14 stolen bases in 263 plate appearances at Spokane.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A 6-foot-4 lefty hitting corner outfielder from Florida, Thompson has one of the better hit tools among college outfielders in last year's draft. He hit .354/.443/.563 with 11 home runs, 10 steals, a 15.4 K% and a 12.1 BB% in 66 games in the spring, and Colorado scooped him up with the 31st overall pick and full slot money. Thompson's hands are very quick, and he can hammer mistakes out to the pull side, but he will likely always be hit-over-power. His fringe-average speed and average throwing arm could lead to him being a left fielder at the highest level, which will put pressure on him to reach his ceiling as a hitter. Thompson's exit velocities were in line with expectations, but he chased more than usual en route to a 24.3 K% and 4.5 BB% across 111 plate appearances across the complex league and Single-A. Rockies hitting prospects get the permanent green light on the bases and play in many favorable hitting conditions, so Thompson's minor-league numbers could look pretty impressive if he regains his form from college.
