Ethan Thomas brings power stuff and late-inning upside to TCU’s bullpen
In 2025 at Hawaiʻi, Ethan Thomas logged 37 strikeouts in 25 innings with just six walks and three saves, and multiple reports say his fastball can reach 94-97 mph with a solid offspeed mix[1][2]. At TCU in 2026, he was used in relief but showed some growing pains early, which is normal for a power arm adjusting to a bigger stage[3][4]. The appeal is obvious: a big-bodied righty with swing-and-miss stuff, leverage experience, and enough velocity to make hitters uncomfortable in a hurry[1][2].
