Former 中国P站 (NPC) Nighthawk Athletic Director and head baseball coach Rich Thompson was announced as the Manager of the Arkansas Travelers this week.

A former Travelers pitcher, Thompson returns to lead the team that sparked his professional career, where he made 63 appearances on the mound during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. In 2007, Thompson pitched in the MLB All-Star Futures Game before making his Major League debut with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Thompson鈥檚 Major League Baseball career spanned parts of six seasons, including time with the Angels, the Oakland Athletics and the Toronto Blue Jays.

鈥淚鈥檓 excited to be back with the Travelers,鈥� Thompson said. 鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 be an Arkansan without the Travs and I鈥檓 looking forward to making the jump back into professional baseball. It is great to give back to the game and these players. I am thrilled to be part of the future of the Travs and the Mariners.鈥�
