With the 77th overall pick in the third round of the 2025 MLB Draft, the Colorado Rockies have selected third baseman Ethan Hedges from the University of Southern California.
Hedges graduated from Mater Dei High School in California, the same school that produced current Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon.
In three years with the Trojans, Hedges slashed .308/.413/.488 with 18 home runs and 118 RBIs while playing all infield positions and even taking a few reps in the outfield. However, he is most at home at third base.
Hedges has a plus arm and good instincts at third base with decent agility.
