Thompson guided the Hoyas into a historic 2022 season that featured the program's first BIG EAST Baseball Championship appearance since 2018, the first BIG EAST Freshman of the Year Owen Carapellotti and the first BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the year following a six-win campaign in 2021. Three Hoyas earned all-conference recognition with Nolan McCarthy earning a unanimous selection to the league's first team while Ethan Stern and Jake Hyde also picked up ABCA / Rawlings All-East Region Team honors on top of their respective first and second team All-BIG EAST selections. Thompson's 2022 team broke the program records for wins (32), home runs (98), total bases (925) and end of season RPI (137) while setting second-best marks in win percentage (.571), runs (400), RBIs (367) and slugging percentage (.480). He also mentored new single-season home run leaders Hyde (19) and Ubaldo Lopez (19) as well as freshman Carapellotti, who garnered Second Team All-America status by D1Baseball.com in his first season with the Hoyas.
