Colby Thomas Homers in Four-Hit Game on Tuesday
Athletics outfield prospect Colby Thomas had a big day at the plate on Tuesday for Triple-A Las Vegas, going 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored. It was the 24-year-old's third home run in the last four games and 14th of the season. Now with 47 RBI, the right-handed slugger is the Pacific Coast League leader in that category. The former third-round draft pick is coming off a 31-home-run, 92-RBI season last year, and with 105 games under his belt now at Triple-A with a combined .282 BA between '24 and '25 at that level, he looks just about ready to take the next step. A high 26.8 percent strikeout rate is a bit of a concern, but a decent walk rate and loads of power could be enough to offset that, and the Athletics' second-ranked prospect should be up in the big leagues by the All-Star break. Power-needy managers in deeper and AL-only leagues should consider stashing him ahead of his eventual call-up.
