Ian Tompkins was Kansas City’s 14th round selection in the 2014 June Amateur Draft out of Western Kentucky University, and currently pitches out of the Burlington Royals bullpen. Tompkins finished up his final collegiate season among the nation’s leader in saves (14), as well as striking out 46 hitters in 26 innings. In fact, for his career, the 6-0 lefty finished third among active college pitchers in career strikeouts, fanning an impressive 12.38 K/9. Tompkins recently joined Dave O to talk about his first summer of pro ball, scouting reports on himself and many of his teammates, the correct annunciation of Louisville, his love for music and lots more! *** NOTE *** Even the maid at the Kingsport Quality Inn makes a brief appearance – a Clubhouse Conversation first!
