Former Hopkinsville High School and Heritage Christian Academy pitcher JJ Thompson will be on the Hoptown Hoppers roster this summer.
Thompson’s father, Jeromy, said on the Early Bird Show this morning that his son has agreed to play for the Hoppers this season and will mainly be used as an outfielder and hitter. He is not expected to pitch much this summer.
