Altoona Manager Explains Tahnaj Thomas’ Development Plan (+)

ALTOONA- On Nov. 14, 2018, the Pittsburgh Pirates traded Jordan Luplow and Max Moroff to the Cleveland Guardians for Dante Mendoza, Erik Gonzalez, and Tahnaj Thomas.

Thomas is the only piece of that trade left in the Pirates system, and he has been through quite a change since coming from the Bahamas as a young aspiring baseball player.

Thomas, when he signed with Cleveland, was originally an infielder, and after a few years, he then switched to a pitcher with the potential to throw 100 mph and flashed a fairly decent slider.

Since the switch to pitcher, Thomas has had his moments of brilliance and his moments of frustration.
