3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Zack Thompson struggled in Tuesday's start for Triple-A Memphis. The left-hander only got two outs and allowed four hits, six runs (three earned), two walks and recorded one strikeout. Thompson just didn't have it on Tuesday, but he has shown a drastic improvement in 2022 from 2021. The 24-year-old's biggest issue throughout his young career has been command, but he has made big jumps this year and is 2-2 with a 4.67 ERA and 1.15 WHIP to go along with 56 strikeouts in 44 1/3 innings, but Tuesday's start put a big dent in his overall season stats. Thompson was passed over by fellow pitching prospect Matthew Liberatore for a big-league promotion earlier in May, but there is a chance that Thompson could make his debut at some point in 2022. Due to his inconsistency, Thompson is a better option in dynasty leagues than redraft leagues at the moment.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
