Athletics Promote Top Prospect Colby Thomas

News summary

The Oakland Athletics have promoted top prospect Colby Thomas from Triple-A Las Vegas, where he posted a .301 batting average with 17 home runs and 70 RBIs in 76 games. Manager Mark Kotsay stated Thomas will primarily serve as a pinch hitter against left-handed relievers, but may earn more playing time with strong performance. Thomas, 24, was a third-round draft pick out of Mercer University and is regarded as the Athletics' No. 2 prospect. He is working to refine his plate approach to balance power with improved pitch selection. Initially, Thomas will be used in a reserve role to avoid disrupting established outfield arrangements. His promotion is part of the Athletics' ongoing effort to incorporate young talent.
