Thompson becomes the 11th first-round pick since Head Coach Kevin O’Sullivan’s 2008 arrival on top of ending Brad Wilkerson’s 24-year run as Florida’s top-drafted outfielder.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Sterlin Thompson<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__floridagators.com_roster.aspx-3Frp-5Fid-3D15108&d=DwIF-g&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=o5LKAX7slotfFMyE71jI7L22NYBIi1-KbRGNSXudTPo&m=2qALxyEyErZyKy-ho2e3XNqYDDOyPDq5_u9SSTA-NaJIvswIi-62QnLSB2RVxRrd&s=i2vNzRCGL1jUV-OaKfVAxk1wuqMB6Z6hOTS0bVCa68M&e= > now holds status as the highest-drafted outfielder in Florida baseball history, as the Colorado Rockies selected the Ocala, Fla. native with the 31st overall pick in the compensatory phase of the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft on Sunday night.
Thompson is the 17th first-round pick in program history (23rd including the post-draft secondary phase) and the Gators’ first since producing a trio of first-rounders in 2018: Jonathan India (fifth overall), Brady Singer (18th overall) and Jackson Kowar (33rd overall). Since Head Coach Kevin O’Sullivan<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__floridagators.com_staff.aspx-3Fstaff-3D33&d=DwIF-g&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=o5LKAX7slotfFMyE71jI7L22NYBIi1-KbRGNSXudTPo&m=2qALxyEyErZyKy-ho2e3XNqYDDOyPDq5_u9SSTA-NaJIvswIi-62QnLSB2RVxRrd&s=Po5i2LEw7_v0yN4CkG8alg1-qgy5yioRc7nAjplF3dU&e= >’s arrival in 2008, Florida’s 11 first-round draft picks rank second nationally.
In being drafted 31st overall, Thompson surpasses Brad Wilkerson as the top outfielder to be drafted in Orange & Blue. Wilkerson was selected by the Montreal Expos with the 33rd overall pick back in 1998. Additionally, Thompson is tied for the 14th-highest draft pick in program history including the ninth-highest under O’Sullivan.
Overall, Thompson is the 213th individual draftee produced by the Gators and the 96th player to have his name called on draft day under O’Sullivan – good for second in the SEC since 2008.
Thompson had a career year in 2022, batting an unearthly .354/.443/.563 with 90 hits, 11 home runs, two triples, 16 doubles, 59 runs, 51 RBI and 10 stolen bases. After hitting five homers as a freshman in 2021, Thompson more than doubled his home run output as a sophomore while connecting for 29 extra-base hits. On top of setting a career high in home runs, the versatile outfielder/infielder also notched personal bests in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging, hits, doubles, runs, RBI, walks, sacrifice flies (six) and steals while leading the Gators in doubles and stolen bases.
The 2021 Freshman All-SEC recipient closed out the 2022 campaign in style, earning NCAA Gainesville Regional All-Tournament Team honors after slashing .579/.609/.895 across the final five games of the season.
During his two years in Orange & Blue, Thompson hit a combined .332/.424/.524 with 145 hits, 16 home runs, five triples, 26 doubles, 98 runs, 78 RBI and 12 stolen bases. He suited up in 121 career games for the Gators including 117 starts.

What They’re Saying About Thompson
MLB Pipeline
“Thompson has long shown a good feel to hit from the left side of the plate with a very good approach. He can use the whole field and drive the ball to the gaps, rarely missing a fastball, though he struggles a bit more with softer stuff. The question in terms of his offensive profile comes in trying to project how much power he’ll have. There’s plenty of raw pop there and a sense there will be strength gains in his 6-foot-3 frame, but he has more of a hit over power approach. A shortstop in high school, Thompson played right field with Florida as a freshman and saw time there and at third this past fall, but most scouts feel an outfield corner is his best long-term home at the next level. Wherever he plays, it’s his left-handed bat that will carry him and potentially get him drafted in the top three rounds.”
Baseball America
“Thompson is a pure hitter first who shows a solid, line drive approach in games with a clean, professional looking swing from the left side. He makes sound swing decisions at the plate and rarely expands the strike zone, though he has shown swing-and-miss tendencies on breaking balls and offspeed offerings. Thompson won’t miss a heater, and he has dominated 93-plus mph fastball velocity this spring with a solid sample of at-bats against that premium velocity in the SEC. While Thompson tapped into more in-game power this spring, he has just solid-average raw power in batting practice and most of his homers went to the pull side. He split time at second base and right field with Florida this spring and has played third base in the past as well, but his feet and hands are probably too light to stick on the dirt and he profiles better as a corner outfielder, with fringy speed, but an above-average throwing arm.”
