Colby Thomas Blasts Two-Run Homer On Thursday
Athletics outfield prospect Colby Thomas went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against Triple-A El Paso on Thursday. The 24-year-old crushed a 429-foot home run to bring his season slash line to a scorching .313/.376/.577. Thomas now ranks second in all the minor leagues with six home runs in May. The former Mercer product's quality of contact metrics also looks strong, with an 11% Barrel% and flashing a 115.9 MPH MaxEV. For perspective, that mark would rank just outside the top 10 for the highest in MLB. Thomas should be expected to be promoted sometime in the early summer, and his upside makes him worthy of picking up. He is currently ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the Athletics system on MLB.com.
