Vanderbilt LHP JD Thompson may be the most underrated arm in the 2025 class. Up to 95, sitting 91-93, with a gaudy 37 percent whiff rate on the FB despite 60% usage. Induced a 36% chase rate on the heater too. Two elite marks. Absolutely pounds arm-side zones. Throws a CB, SL and CH, all of which boast >30% whiff rates.
Above average athlete with good extension down the mound and some natural occlusion to his delivery. A quiet, effortlessness to his operation. Should firmly be in play on day one if one of his breaking balls takes a more dynamic step forward.
After tonights win over Falmouth @adam_gotkin spoke with @VandyBoys pitcher JD Thompson after he threw three scoreless innings in relief.

@wearebuildinglivesnashville have made it their mission to help these exact men and women. By housing homeless veterans and providing services to struggling veterans and their families, they’re leading the charge to end veteran homelessness.
The holidays can be a hard time for many veterans. Many are homeless, and are struggling to make ends meet, leaving them forced to choose between Christmas presents, or their rent. This is a reality for too many of the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms.
Let's rally around our veterans with We Are Building Lives! They're committed to providing essential support like employment, transportation and financial education to Nashville's homeless veterans. Visit https://t.co/zZhVZ3pX1L to learn more. @AnchorImpact@BuildingLivesTN

“JD is a throwback player. Competed in many different sports in high school and excelled in them. The background of competition is very visible when he's on the mound. JD has winning mental and physical intangibles that will allow him to succeed at this level.” - Coach Corbin
