When the Colorado Rockies signed Mickey Moniak in March, it seemed unclear exactly what his role with the team would be.
With Brenton Doyle and Jordan Beck penciled in as starters, Moniak would take part in the competition for playing time in right field, attempting to beat out familiar face Sean Bouchard and fellow newcomer Nick Martini.
As the season has continued, though, Martini has departed the organization and Bouchard, at least at the time of this writing, remains with Triple-A Albuquerque. Moniak has thusly taken the reins on the right field position, and in fact has played the second-most games of any Rockies player this season at 55, second only to Hunter Goodman’s and Ryan McMahon’s 59.
