Ryan Thompson Talks Process, Life of a Reliever

Right-handed sidewinder Ryan Thompson has been nothing short of a godsend for the oft reliever-starved Diamondbacks. Arizona signed Thompson to a minor league deal in in August of 2023, after the righty was released by the Tampa Bay Rays. Thompson allowed just one earned run in the 2023 regular season with Arizona, and put up similarly impressive numbers with a 2.31 postseason ERA. The reliever sports a 1.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and .177 average against.
