Sterlin Thompson Goes Deep For Double-A Hartford
6 months agoColorado Rockies infield/outfield prospect Sterlin Thompson crushed a three-run home run for Double-A Hartford on Thursday. Thompson hit his third long ball of the season for the Yard Goats, bringing his RBI total to 19. The 22-year-old is hitting just. 184 in June, and the three RBI are his first this month. Across two levels last year, he hit .293 with 14 homers and 56 RBI with 17 stolen bases. His consistent approach and athletic profile have helped him rise to the No. 5 overall prospect status with the Rockies. He has played all around the diamond defensively, and his position versatility could push up his major-league debut timeline. Whenever he does get the call and wherever he finds himself fitting in defensively, the bat should play, especially at Coors Field.
