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.
