Entering 2018 Brian Mundell had built up hope among a considerable amount of PuRPs voters that he was an answer to the first base woes that had befallen the Rockies. It was logical to entertain such a notion given the converted catcher’s 2017 campaign, in which Mundell hit a combined .300/.385/.472 across High A and Double-A with 44 extra base hits in 504 plate appearances and a BB% nearly equivalent to his K% (plus a stint in the prestigious Arizona Fall League). That season followed a 2016 in which the 6’3” righty was named the South Atlantic League MVP with a Minor League record 59 doubles and a 152 wRC+.
