Trent
Thompson

Came up with several clutch hits over the two days for the Jaguars as he was 3-10 during the series with a 2B and 3 RBI’s. Hitting out of the 4 hole in the lineup, Thompson came up huge in Game 1 as he came up with a clutch 2 out 2 RBI single off of a tough matchup (AJ Causey) as he served a base knock to right field that tied the game up at 3-3. In Game 2 he got a fastball out over the plate that he got the barrel to and served it to the pull side gap to extend the Jaguar lead to 5-3. In Game 3 Thompson got a breaking ball over the plate and served it right back up the middle to help the Jaguars jump out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the 4th. Also like the quick transfer on the throws to 2B.

C Trent Thompson (2021) is another player that is seeing it well so far to begin his senior season for the 7A Jaguars. Reached base in three of his four plate appearances on the night, while doubling (clip below) and singling in two of those. In the at-bat below, Thompson worked the count with two strikes and fouled off pitches until he finally got one to hit. Drove a pitch over the plate and deposited it into the pull side gap for a double. He’s got a direct path to contact and a fluid bat path from the right side. Handled his pitcher well behind the plate, showing solid lateral movement when blocking balls in the dirt. He’s another unsigned senior that had a good day at the plate for his squad and led his team to the victory.
