Trayce Thompson striking out on his own with Dodgers

GLENDALE, Ariz. – For Trayce Thompson, it was love at first swing.

“Ever since T-ball, I couldn’t get him to put a bat down,” says Trayce’s father, Mychal Thompson. “Like my other sons, he played all sports growing up. But even during football and basketball seasons, between those games he’d be outside pretending to be a major leaguer. He was always swinging a bat.

“Just like basketball was it for Klay and Mychel, baseball was his game.”

Basketball is more than a game in the Thompson household. It’s the family business.
