Lefty depth arm with growing poise for Austin Peay
In the 2026 season, Emma Thompson has been a useful left-handed pitcher for Austin Peay, posting a 6.89 ERA over 21.1 innings with 7 strikeouts and a .323 opponent batting average, while also showing swing-and-miss upside in earlier work as her role expanded from relief to starts. Her best value is versatility: she can start, relieve, and eat meaningful innings, and Austin Peay’s notes repeatedly highlight her as the team’s lone lefty in the circle. She’s a fit for teams looking for a developing competitor with deceptive value, not just raw stat-chasing flash.
