Jake Thompson has been with the Philadelphia Phillies for three years. He was once a hotshot prospect, that ranked in MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 list back in 2015, ranking as the 51st best prospect in baseball.
What he’s done since then has been relatively disappointing.
Thompson has a 4.87 ERA in just 116.1 innings of work in the big leagues over the past three seasons. In 2018, Thompson has a 4.96 ERA in nine appearances out of the bullpen for Philadelphia. He was recently designated for assignment by the Phillies while he was with their Triple-A affiliate.
