Jillian Thompson, the wife of Trayce Thompson, gained fame as a former star football player at Northern Michigan University.
Since she is not active on most social media platforms and has opted to keep her Instagram account private, there is little public knowledge about her.
Trayce and his spouse Jillian choose to maintain a low online profile.
Additionally, Jillian made a surprise appearance to support her husband at the World Baseball Classic this year (WBC).
Jillian discreetly welcomed a baby with her partner Thompson in late spring 2021. The adorable and delightful Baby Thompson is reported to have been born in July 2021.
With the couple’s infant by her side, Jillian Thompson shared a pre-World Baseball Classic video message sending best wishes to Trayce as he represents Team Great Britain. She expressed:
“Hello daddy! We simply wanted to wish you the best of luck in the World Baseball Classic. We are extremely proud and thrilled for you to represent Team Great Britain. We love you dearly and can’t wait to see you soon.”
Trayce Thompson, recognized as an outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has had an exceptional start to the 2023 MLB season and an impressive World Baseball Classic.
Trayce Thompson achieves historic feat with three home runs for the Dodgers
Trayce Thompson, an outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, smashed three home runs in his team’s 10-1 triumph over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.
He outperformed all other participants in the game, racking up eight RBIs, more than double the nearest competitor.
Within the Dodgers’ history, Thompson becomes the eighth player to have achieved eight RBIs in a single game. Only James Loney and Hall of Famer Gil Hodges have accomplished more, with both players recording games with nine RBIs.
What makes his performance even more remarkable is the remarkable consistency displayed by Thompson while contributing to his team’s victory. All three of his home runs had an exit speed of 107.5 mph.
According to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, since the introduction of Statcast in 2015, no player’s home runs have had such consistent exit velocities in a single game. This indicates an extraordinarily rare occurrence.
On Saturday, J.D. Martinez of the Diamondbacks also hit a home run with an exit velocity of 107.4 mph, just marginally faster than Thompson’s, nearly matching the consistent momentum.
The fact that each of Thompson’s home runs was off a different pitcher adds to the significance of this achievement.
Thompson delivered a grand slam against Arizona left-hander Madison Bumgarner in his first at-bat of the year, providing the Dodgers with a 5-0 lead in the first inning.
Thompson effortlessly repeated his feat against a right-handed pitcher as well. In the sixth inning, his second home run off Kevin Ginkel translated to three runs.
Thompson capped off his outstanding performance with a solo home run off Carlos Vargas in the eighth inning.
With his trio of home runs on Saturday, Thompson now shares the early league record with C.J. Cron, the first baseman for the Colorado Rockies.
Only three players, including Texas Rangers designated hitter Mitch Garver and Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall, have multiple home runs in a game this year.
