Brenton Thiels
Right-Handed Pitcher | Otis, Louisiana
Brenton Thiels returns to Pearl after signing with the Mississippi Mud Monsters in August of last season.
The 7-foot right-hander appeared in six games out of the bullpen during the final month of the 2025 season, bringing one of the most physically imposing presences in professional baseball to the mound.
After spending the offseason getting right physically and mentally, Thiels returns focused on consistency, confidence, and taking things one day at a time.
A Different Look on the Mound
Built Different
Standing 7-foot tall, Thiels immediately gives hitters a different visual challenge than almost anyone else in baseball. The Louisiana native pitched collegiately at Louisiana Tech before beginning his professional career, and his combination of size, extension, and raw stuff makes him one of the most unique arms in the Frontier League.
