Bonikowski hails from the Orange County region and is playing for another national powerhouse high school program in Huntington Beach. The OC PSID was our staffs first showcase look at the talented two-way product who impressed with tools that are advanced for his age as a hitter, defender and RHP. Standing 6'1 and weighing a present 172 lbs. the frame for Bonikowski has started to emerge with strength and presents plenty more to dream on as he keeps maturing through his high school career. He is solid athlete at present clocking a 7.24 60 yard time which comfortably provides him a home in either OF corner and shows the makings of a potential RF arm with present 84 MPH OF velocity that carries well out of his hand. His offensive profile though takes him to another level as a position player with a lofted swing path that generates intriguing batted ball data at present and strong approach for getting to his best contact consistently in the workout setting. Bonikowski posted a present max EV of 98.9 MPH while impressively averaging 90 MPH across his rounds of batting practice including launching a 379' blast to his pull side. Posting an impressive 82% hard hit rate with a 64% sweet spot the quality of each ball the RH hitter puts in plays projects a middle of the order impact potential hitter who can comfortably defend in an OF corner over the coming years. Then you mix in a solid RHP profile with a controlled repeatable delivery that filled the zone with a 2100+ RPM average spin FB that peaks in the low 80's at present and the makings of a solid CHG in the low 70's at present. On the day Bonikowski impressed slightly more as a position player prospect, but there is plenty to like about his operation on the mound. Developing in the HB Oilers program over the coming years one can only expect Thomas to continue getting better and should be a name to keep tabs on in the 2029 class going forward.
