Dodgers' Ian Thomas: Dominates early appearances

Thomas has a 1.59 ERA and .179 opponent batting average through 11.1 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City this season.

After four games, Thomas is showing he has the attributes to be a dominant force on the mound. His 0.88 WHIP, 11 strikeouts, and .179 AVG all show that he can effectively keep the opposition off base. Before the 2016 season started, he was on the bubble of making the 25-man roster in Los Angeles, but ended up at Triple-A Oklahoma City. If he continues making the most of his opportunities with Oklahoma City, it's likely that he'll end up in the show sometime this season. His arrival will only be accelerated if Luis Avilan, one of Los Angeles' current lefty relievers, continues to struggle.
