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