Career Transactions

Signed as international free agent by Rockies, Nov. 29, 2010

Background

Signed as a 16-year-old in 2010, Tapia was coveted for the hand-eye coordination that scouts correctly saw as a precursor to a tremendous ability to hit

What to Watch For

Tapia keeps producing, but his game is unorthodox. His batting stance is unlike any you’ll see in the minors, and he crouches to near Eddie Gaedel height when the count reaches two strikes.
