• Athletics' Colby Thomas: Excelling at Triple-A level

  08/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Thomas owns a .306 average and .979 OPS across 165 plate appearances over 37 games with Triple-A Las Vegas since being promoted to the affiliate June 18. One of the organization's top prospects, Thomas is delivering on his potential. He's actually outperforming his Double-A numbers by a comfortable margin and has impressively generated 24 extra-base hits among his 44 knocks with Las Vegas. The one minor quibble with Thomas' production with the Aviators is that his stolen-base numbers are down -- he's just 2-for-5 in that department -- but his prior body of work in the minors suggests that's more of an outlier. Given his mastery over Triple-A arms, there appears to be a strong chance of an initial Thomas big-league sighting at some point before the end of the 2024 regular season.

  The Athletics promoted Thomas from Double-A Midland to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. He went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in his Las Vegas debut in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Tacoma. He took over the spot on Las Vegas' roster that was left open when outfielder Lawrence Butler was called up to Oakland on Tuesday. The 23-year-old Thomas received his first taste of the Triple-A level after slashing .282/.340/.568 with 14 home runs and 12 stolen bases in 259 plate appearances for Midland.
