Brenton Doyle was born on May 14th, 1998 in Warrenton, Virginia. He attended Kettle Run High School, and won 3A East Region Player of the Year honors as a junior. Doyle went to college at Shepherd University, and played there for three years before being drafted by the Rockies in the fourth round of the 2019 June Amateur Draft. He won the batting title in Rookie Ball in 2019, batting .383 in 51 games. Doyle came back in 2021 after a cancelled 2020 season, and batted .280/.336/.454 in A+. He would play 132 games between AA and AAA the next year, and needed a mere 12 games in 2023 before meriting a call-up. Doyle struggled mightily at the plate his first big-league season, batting just .203/.250/.343 in 126 games. He did win the Gold Glove though, playing stellar defense in center field. Things seemed to come together in 2024 though, when Doyle had a crazy mid-season hot streak. He ended the campaign with a .260/.317/.447 slash line and 30 steals. Doyle also won his second Gold Glove in as many years. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do once 2025 rolls around.

ReplyDeleteA quick yet cool summary of his baseball life up to this point. I quite like this series! I smell a Pete Crow Armstrong in 200 words post brewing behind the scenes.
ReplyDeleteYour nose is correct. I've been planning to do his. I have one more ready to ship out, and then I'll get to his :)
