Bradley RHP Gavin Thompson brings innings and strikeout ability, but command has been the separator in 2026
Thompson has been a workhorse for Bradley in the 2026 season, logging 42.1 innings with 32 strikeouts and three wins, but his 9.57 ERA shows the results have been uneven. His value is volume and right-handed depth rather than dominance right now: he has shown he can take the ball and miss some bats, but the hit rate and walks suggest his command is the main swing skill. Based on earlier college production, he has shown strike-throwing upside, so he looks like a developmental arm rather than an immediate plug-and-play answer.
