Ryan McMahon has played all over the infield during his steady progression through the Rockies’ farm system and to the majors. That flexibility is paying off, as he’s now in a battle for the starting second baseman job.
The Rockies drafted McMahon as a third baseman in the second round of the 2013 draft. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Rockies minor league system before making his major league debut on August 12, 2017. However, since he was blocked at his primary position, the Rockies began exposing him to other infield positions — namely first and second base.
