2023 Fantasy Outlook
Doyle was taken in the fourth round of the 2019 Draft out of Division II Shepherd University and has shown from the beginning an intriguing fantasy skill set with his ability to hit for power and steal bases. The 24-year-old put together a 20-20 season in 2022 between Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque, popping 26 home runs and stealing 23 bases (while being caught just three times). The bad news is Doyle has also posted some prodigious strikeout totals, most recently fanning at a 31.2 percent rate last season (and walking at just a 5.1 percent rate). You can dream on Doyle's power/speed potential at Coors Field, and he's just a step away now after being added to the 40-man roster over the winter. The question will be whether Doyle can make enough contact for that to matter, and we don't have to look far for a cautionary tale with a similar skill set in Sam Hilliard. Read Past Outlooks

Not starting, could play off bench

Knee
May 28, 2023
Doyle (knee) was able to participate in a pregame workout in the outfield and could be available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Doyle believes that he could be back in the lineup for Colorado "in the next couple of days." The outfielder was carted off the field in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Marlins, but he was diagnosed with nothing more than a bruised right knee before missing the next three games. Even if Doyle doesn't appear in Sunday's contest, he looks as though he'll have a good chance at making it back in the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona. According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, Doyle ran at about 75 percent speed Saturday and continued to track down balls in the outfield Sunday with no major issue.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Doyle is a Rockies prospect with plus raw power and plus speed, which should get the attention of dynasty managers right away. That said, he turns 23 in May and has never played official games above rookie ball, so his hit tool is very much to be determined. He put up comical numbers (185 wRC+) in the hitter-friendly Pioneer League, but that's basically par for the course for a player his age with his tools. Obviously slashing .383/.477/.611 is never a bad thing, and considering Colorado selected him in the fourth round in 2019 from a Division II school, this was proof that he was a prospect of note. He continued to make strides as one of the older prospects in the fall instructional league, setting up a highly-anticipated full-season debut. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound outfielder can handle all three outfield spots, and hopefully the Rockies have embraced an actual rebuild by the time he is big-league ready.
Doyle received $500,000 after the Rockies selected him in the fourth round out of Division II Shepherd University. He proceeded to lead the hitter-friendly Pioneer League in AVG (.383), OPS (1.088) and wRC+ (185). Doyle had a 47.0 Pull% and a 50.0 GB%, so while he is an above-average runner, his .484 BABIP is not supported at all by his batted-ball data. At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, his plus raw power is very real, but his speed may tick down in his mid-20s. He can handle all three outfield spots and did not show platoon splits in his first taste of pro ball. His 21.9 K% is higher than we would like from a 21-year-old hitter in rookie ball, but not glaringly high, while his 14.4 BB% was excellent. There are no obvious flaws with Doyle at this point, and we probably won't know how well the hit tool really is until he gets past the hitter's havens in Asheville and Lancaster and arrives at Double-A.
