Despite a challenging path, including six years in the minors, Thompson made his MLB debut with the Rays in 2020 before being traded to Arizona.

Since joining the Diamondbacks, Thompson has excelled, posting impressive stats with a 0.92 ERA over 29.1 innings pitched.

However, the bullpen as a whole has struggled, ranking among the MLB's top 10 for the highest ERA.
