Unwavering faith and a relentless drive to be uncommon. Addi Thompson is a standout right-handed pitcher and hitter from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, competing with Hotshots National Nelson. A Class of 2026 athlete, Addi has earned the opportunity to continue her softball career in the Big Ten as a commit to the University of Michigan. Addi's journey began when she started playing softball in 8th grade. Through hard work, discipline, and determination, she developed into one of the nation's top prospects. Her path has been shaped not only by success on the field, but also by overcoming adversity. After losing her father at the age of eight, Addi learned resilience, strength, and the importance of pushing forward through life's toughest challenges. The lesson her father left with her continues to fuel everything she does: "In a world full of common people, BE UNCOMMON." Every time Addi steps onto the field, she plays for something bigger than herself, carrying that mindset into every pitch, every at-bat, and every opportunity. "Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." — James 1:2-3
