Aaron Schunk is having a good Spring Training
Hailing from Atlanta and coming out of Georgia College, Aaron Schunk was selected in the second round as the 62nd overall pick in the 2019 MLB draft by the Rockies.
The third baseman is a non-roster invitee at Spring Training and has piled up good numbers. In seven at-bats, he has had four hits, stolen two bases and is hitting a slash line of .571 with an OPS of 1.196.
Down in the minors, he plays for Albuquerque Isotopes. Since 2019, he has played 373 games in the minor, hitting .265/.326/.427. He has 42 home runs, 222 RBIs and 35 stolen bases.
Every year, due to impressive performances, he has upgraded his level of play, starting from A (short) to AAA in 2023. In the last few years, the Rockies also gave him the opportunity to participate in spring training games.
If Aaron Schunk performs well, he could get called to the majors soon, but until that happens, he will have to keep grinding.
