Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Trayce Thompson has had a stellar year so far, with a terrific WBC and a wonderful start to the 2023 MLB season.
He is married to Jillian Thompson, an ex-soccer player at Northern Michigan University. Not much is known about her as she has kept her Instagram account private and is absent from most social media platforms. Both Trayce and his wife Jillian prefer to maintain a low profile, especially on social media. However, Jillian made a very rare special appearance to cheer her husband on during this year's World Baseball Classic (WBC).
Ahead of the World Baseball Classic, Jillian Thompson, accompanied by the couple's baby, shared a video message wishing Trayce all the best for representing Team Great Britain. She said:
“Hi dada! We just wanted to wish you good luck in the World Baseball Classic. We’re so proud and excited for you to represent Team Great Britain. We love you so much and we can’t wait to see you soon.”
Trayce Thompson in WBC
Trayce Thompson had an impressive World Baseball Classic (WBC). He scored the first homerun for Team Great Britain against Team USA in the opening game of the tournament. This followed a “royal” celebration that gained massive social media popularity.
Thompson also has decent numbers in the MLB. He has a batting average of .224 and has scored 42 home runs. 2023 could not have gotten off to a better start for Thompson, and he will hope to build on that.
