Ryan Thompson

Ryan Thompson

32-Year-Old PitcherRP
Arizona Diamondbacks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thompson was a dependable bullpen arm for Arizona in 2024, finishing with career-best marks across multiple categories, including games played (67), innings pitched (66.1), strikeouts (52) and wins (7). The submariner also racked up 24 holds which led the D'Backs and was good for 13th overall in the majors. What Thompson lacks in strikeouts, he makes up for with a 99th percentile groundball rate (62.7 percent) and low walk rate (5.5 percent). The 32-year-old should slot into a setup role once again for 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Suffers tough loss in key game
PArizona Diamondbacks
September 1, 2024
Thompson (7-4) was the losing pitcher in Saturday's game against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out one over one inning.
ANALYSIS
Thompson entered with one out and a runner on and got the Diamondbacks out of the eighth inning unscathed, but trouble followed him in the ninth. He was removed after a pair of singles and a sacrifice bunt, then watched Justin Martinez let his two runners score. Thompson has largely been a dependable bullpen arm but is showing cracks this month. The submarining right-hander has a 6.17 ERA and a .327 batting-average against over 11.2 innings in August.
