* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2023
Thomas, a 26-year-old lefty the Brewers poached from the Cardinals in the Rule 5 draft, had operated primarily as a starter until last season, in which 53 of his 56 appearances at Triple-A were out of the bullpen. He logged a 2.89 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 79:24 K:BB in 90.1 innings, so while he worked as a reliever, he is stretched out enough to move back to the rotation this year if the Brewers wanted to go that route at some point. More likely, Thomas will work as a low-leverage multi-inning reliever for Milwaukee or be returned to St. Louis at some point this season.
Thomas, a fifth-round pick in 2019, was added to the Cardinals' 40-man roster in November of 2022. His season-long numbers with Triple-A Memphis do little to excite, but Thomas finished with an impressive showing in the Arizona Fall League (1.75 ERA, 34:5 K:BB over six starts) which weighed heavily in the team's decision. The lefty explained to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that, with advise from pitching coach Mike Maddux and the organization's all-time saves leader Jason Isringhausen, he developed a cut fastball. The cutter gave him a weapon on the inner edge of the plate against right-handed batters and in turn allowed his other three pitches to play up in the AFL. It's clear the Cardinals believe this new version of Thomas has a major-league future whether it be as a starter or reliever.
