Drafted in the 16th round (498th overall) by the Colorado Rockies in 2012.
View Draft Report
Popick first put his name on the map two years ago in the Alaska League, ranking as the league's No. 10 prospect. He went undrafted last season but continued to rake, hitting .424/.524/.663 this spring. Popick has his work cut out for him as a right-right senior left fielder, but he has an athletic, 6-foot-4, 190-pound build with speed and strength. The buzz in the state is that the Rockies are high on Popick and would love to see him on the roster of their new Rookie-level affiliate in Grand Junction.
