Daryl Thompson (born November 2, 1985 in La Plata, Maryland) is a Major League Baseball starting pitcher in the Cincinnati Reds organization.
Thompson was selected in the 8th round of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft by the Montreal Expos. On July 13, 2006 the Reds traded Austin Kearns, Felipe Lopez, and Ryan Wagner to the Washington Nationals for Thompson, Bill Bray, Royce Clayton, Brendan Harris, and Gary Majewski. Thompson rose quickly through the minor league system of the Reds. Until June 2008, he played for the Louisville Bats, where he won three games in four starts.[[1]] After compiling a 2.22 E.R.A. in the minors, Thompson was called up by the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, June 20, 2008 to replace the 0-3 Homer Bailey. His first start came on June 21, 2008 against the New York Yankees.[2]]
