Brenton Doyle has taken major strides forward at the plate this season, and the Colorado Rockies have gotten a unique amount of production out of the outfielder three games into this month.
Entering this month, Doyle was batting .253 with a .694 OPS, both improvements on his .203 and .593 marks as a rookie in 2023.Milwaukee Brewers
. He followed that up by going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and two RBI on July 2, then by going 2-for-4 with a double on July 3., Doyle is now one of three players in MLB's modern era to have three doubles, three home runs and a stolen base in their first three games of any calendar month. The only other players to achieve the feat are Larry Walker and Jeff Kent, who did so in August 1997 and June 2000, respectively.
But after winning a Gold Glove as a rookie in 2023, Doyle's defensive stats have started to trend downwards. His defensive runs saved have dropped from 21 to nine, and he only has two outfield assists compared to the 10 he put up last year. Still, with the reputation he's built up in the field and the sudden surge he's been enjoying at the plate, Doyle has more than carved out a spot for himself in the Rockies' ongoing rebuild.Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
