Detroit Tigers: A Look at Jake Thompson
Quote:
With their first pick in the 2012 Major League Baseball draft, the Detroit Tigers selected Jake Thompson out of Rockwell-Heath High School (Texas). The Tigers didn’t have a first-round pick because they forfeited their first round pick to the Brewers as compensation for Prince Fielder.
Thompson is a 6-foot-4 right-hander and weighs in at 234 pounds. And he’s only 18-years-old.
Jim Callis of Baseball America says the big right-hander features a fastball, change-up, and a slider.
Typical of a Dave Dombrowski draft pick, he is somewhat of a hard thrower.
Even only at 18-years-old, Thompson has touched 94 mph but throws anywhere from 90 to 92 with regularity.
