With only about two weeks remaining in the Class A-short season, the Rockies have plenty of positive signs coming from the Boise Hawks.
Third baseman Aaron Schunk has been Boise’s biggest highlight, as Colorado’s second-round selection in the June draft out of the University of Georgia ranks fourth in the Northwest League with a .329 average. The 22-year-old also has a .928 OPS and six homers with 23 RBIs.
“He came to us, and right away you could tell that this kid had a good approach on and off the field,” first-year Hawks manager Steve Soliz said.
