2012 Atlantic Coast Underclass Showcase
Russell Thompson is a 2014 RHP/1B with a 6-3 195 lb. frame from Alcolu, SC who attends Lawrence Manning Academy. Tall frame, strong athletic build. Sidearmer, big arm side run on fastball boring in on right handed hitters, works exclusively from the stretch. Deceptive delivery, frisbee break on slider with good spin, aggressive pitching approach, challenges hitters early in the count. Fastball sinks, mixes pitches well. Deep hand load, good leverage to swing, long swing, raw power, aggressive approach. Very good student.
