Martavius Thomas brings speed, contact skills, and rising draft buzz to Grambling’s outfield
Thomas has emerged as a useful all-around outfielder for Grambling State, improving from a .282 average in 2024 to .306 in 2025 before settling at .266 in 2026, while also getting looks in center and right field.[1][4] At 5'9" and a switch hitter, he stands out more for athleticism, versatility, and bat-to-ball ability than pure power, which makes him a fit for teams needing an energetic, disruptive leadoff-type presence rather than a slugger.[2][3][4]
