Tristan Gabriel Pompey is a 6’4″, 195 lb. switch-hitting outfielder from New Westminster, British Columbia. New Westminster was also the origin of former major leaguers Gordie Pladson, Aaron Myette, and Justin Morneau. Born on March 23rd, 1997, Pompey was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 31st round of the 2015 Amateur Entry Draft, but he didn’t sign with Minnesota.
Pompey instead decided to matriculate to the University of Kentucky, and played three seasons of Division I baseball. The decision would pan out for him, after slashing .321/.426/.521 in 165 games, with 24 homers and 113 RBI.
