2026 Fantasy Outlook
Thomas has put up some gaudy minor league statisticas over the past three seasons, but that has not yet translated to much major league success. Thomas hit 31 homers with a .277 average between Double-A and Triple-A in 2024 and hit .291/.366/.529 with 18 homers in Las Vegas around some back-and-forth callups call-ups Sacramento. Thomas hit .225/.267/.417 with the Athletics with far too many strikeouts, as he struck out 49 times in 120 at bats. He has show the ability to make hard contact and has the athleticsm to man all three spots in the outfield, but he is best used at a corner spot where his arm strength is a deterrent to opponents attempting to take the extra base. If Thomas cannot make better contact at the big league level, he is going to be limited to a reserve outfield role and a short-sided one at that. All six of his home runs came against lefties while he had just one walk and 24 strikeouts against righties in 59 at bats. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in March of 2026.
Fading back into platoon role
Thomas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Analysis
Thomas made six consecutive starts in the corner outfield from June 27 through last Friday, but he now finds himself on the bench for the third time in four games. All three of those absences have come against right-handed pitching, as Thomas looks like he'll have to settle for a short-side platoon role with Carlos Cortes having heated back up at the plate and earned himself more opportunities versus righties at Thomas' expense.

Stat Review
How does Colby Thomas compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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.
