PROSPECT: Sterlin Thompson, 3B, Colorado Rockies
ANALYSIS: The 31st overall selection in last summer’s draft out of the University of Florida, Thompson has been known for his strong bat since his high school days, allowing him to be highly regarded despite defensive shortcomings.
Thompson is a below-average runner, and his defensive instincts at the hot corner are a bit lacking, but he has a powerful arm that could play well in a corner outfield spot long-term. With a swing geared for opposite-field contact, Sterlin could be in the perfect long-term organization as his gap power will play well in Colorado’s expansive outfield.
Opening at High-A Spokane this season, Thompson has slashed .477/.519/.682 with six doubles and a home run. A smart player, Thompson has stolen four bases without being caught, despite below-average speed.
VERDICT: Likely a guy that won’t see the big leagues until mid-2024 at the soonest, Thompson is a deep dynasty stash currently, but he could be a huge batting average asset when he does reach Colorado.
