Wes Rogers

Rogers is a speedster, though he's not exactly the size of a prototypical leadoff hitter (6-foot-3, 180 pounds). However, power has not yet shown up as a big part of his game. He is known mostly for his base-stealing abilities, as he swiped 43 bags this past year, giving him 96 over the past two seasons, while being caught just 13 times over that stretch (88 percent success rate). He improved his walk rate from 9.0 percent to 10.1 percent while cutting his strikeout rate from 19 percent to 17.6 percent in 2016. He will begin the 2017 season at Double-A Hartford looking to make more hard contact, as his ISO has been below .120 in each of the past two seasons. A fourth-round pick out of Spartanburg Methodist College in 2014, Rogers must prove he can hit for average at the higher levels in order to become a part of the Rockies' future plans. Colorado also happens to be flush with outfielders ahead of him on the organizational depth chart right now.
