Senior (2015)
Christian “Christoff” Thomas is one of the most well-rounded players on the team, as he can play any position effortlessly and hit almost anywhere in the lineup. Christoff brings a lot of intangibles to the team as well, including leadership, wisdom, and timely humor. Expect this savvy veteran to have another strong junior year, as he plans on prolonging his college experience just a little bit longer.

Junior (2014)
Christian will get the nod from the coaching staff as the starting shortstop for the 2014 season. Christian’s athleticism and speed allows him to make hard plays look easy. The Panthers will also rely on Christian to throw strikes on the bump while using off-speed pitches to juke batters. 

Sophomore (2013)
Christian worked his way into the starting lineup as a freshman. Christian will take over in centerfield and will be counted on as a leader in the outfield. Christian has worked hard to get his arm stronger and he will see more time on the mound both out of the bullpen and as a starter.

Freshman (2012)
Christian Thomas is coming to the baseball team from the high school where he played up the middle his senior year.  Christian played soccer this fall, a testament to his athletic ability.  The coaches are looking forward to seeing his talent on the baseball field this spring.
