Ryan Thompson is giving Rhode Island legit pop at first base
In the 2026 season, Ryan Thompson has emerged as a productive middle-of-the-order bat for Rhode Island, hitting .310 with 7 home runs, 38 RBI, 12 doubles, and a .382 on-base percentage across 51 games. At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, he brings a strong, physical first-base profile with real gap-to-gap power and run-production upside, and he’s already shown big-game punch with a 4-RBI performance against Bryant in April 2026. He looks like a fit for teams wanting size, power, and a dependable run producer who can punish mistakes without needing the spotlight.
