Brendan Thompson brings sneaky pop and steady infield value to CSUB
Brendan Thompson entered Cal State Bakersfield as a highly regarded Michigan infielder, praised by the staff as one of the best defenders on the dirt in his class. In 2026, he showed legitimate offensive upside too, including a two-run homer against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and a 2026 spring line that reflected growing extra-base ability and run production. Add in his strong high-school résumé, consistent contact, and reputation for reliable infield play, and he profiles as the kind of high-motor, versatile bat-and-glove piece coaches love plugging into a lineup.
