2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thomas isn't a perfect prospect, but he's big-league ready and has a chance to hit 20-plus homers with double-digit steals if he gets enough playing time as a rookie. He tallied 31 homers and 15 steals in 132 games split between Double-A and Triple-A. While his slash lines were similar and his ISO was almost identical at the two levels, Thomas' strikeout rate jumped from 18 percent at Double-A to 30.3 percent at Triple-A. His walk rate also jumped slightly from 6.5 percent to 7.3 percent, and the balls and strikes challenge system at Triple-A may have factored into both metrics going up. Given that Thomas was 23, what he did at Triple-A is more instructive for 2025 than what he did at Double-A, so don't expect him to hit north of .250. He's a quality defensive outfielder, capable of playing all three spots, and he bats right-handed, so Thomas could conceivably gain everyday playing time early this season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in June of 2025.
Will be used in reserve role
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Monday that Thomas will be used primarily as a pinch hitter against left-handed relievers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Thomas was called up Monday from Triple-A Las Vegas, but he looks set to operate as a fourth outfielder for the time being. Kotsay suggested that Thomas will have a chance to play his way into additional playing time, but fantasy managers should have low expectations for the rookie in the immediate future.
