Round 44 Daniel Thomas RHP U South Florida
2-1 1.27era
South Florida righty Dan Thomas pitched well early this season, including seven one-hit innings with eight punchouts against Manhattan with more than a dozen scouts in attendance to see him and Manhattan first baseman Matt Rizzotti. He went down with a shoulder injury shortly thereafter, and the injury was diagnosed as fraying in his right labrum. He had surgery in May. Command has never been his forte, but Thomas showed feel for three pitches when he was healthy.
