2026 Fantasy Outlook
Thompson has a nondescript profile, with the exception of the fact he's a Rockies position player who could play in 2026. A former third baseman who is now a below-average defensive outfielder limited to the corners, Thompson has fringe-average raw power and fringe-average speed. He slashed .296/.392/.519 with 18 homers, 12 steals, a 118 wRC+ and a 20.9 percent strikeout rate in 120 games in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League last year. The Rockies added Thompson to the 40-man roster this offseason, and while he has plenty of weaknesses (athleticism, raw power), they aren't things that will improve with more time at Triple-A. He turns 25 in June. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Rockies in March of 2026.
Hits first two homers of career
Thompson went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a double in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs.
Analysis
Thompson homered in the third and fifth innings. This was his first multi-hit effort since June 5, though he's had a tough time getting into the lineup over the last couple of weeks. The left-handed-hitting outfielder has lost out on a regular role as the Rockies get healthier, with Jake McCarthy (illness) rejoining the lineup Tuesday. McCarthy is likely to handle a starting role in left field, so Thompson's time with the big club could come to a close the next time a spot on the 26-man roster needs to be opened. So far this season, Thompson is batting .242 with a .722 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, seven runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 69 plate appearances.

How does Sterlin Thompson 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
With Thompson, it's been all about his hit tool, dating back to high school and college. He hit .332 in college, .296 thus far in the minors and .332 in the Arizona Fall League. Thompson enjoyed the extremely hitter-friendly conditions with High-A Spokane, posting a career-high .520 slugging percentage, but this is still a hit-over-power profile and Thompson is a fringe-average runner, so the bat will have to carry his real-life and fantasy value. He has average raw power and could be a 20-homer hitter with everyday playing time. Thompson played primarily third base at High-A, but he started seeing more time at second base and the corner outfield spots at Double-A and in the AFL. He has a plus arm but lacks the instincts and actions for the hot corner. Given that the Rockies have other long-term challengers at second base (Adael Amador) and in the outfield (Yanquiel Fernandez, Jordan Beck) who project as superior defenders and/or more impactful offensive weapons, Thompson will have a small margin for error at the plate if he is to carve out everyday playing time.
