Hoffpaiur left Stanford after being drafted in the 22nd round by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2015. Through both Class-A and Rookie ball that season, he posted a just-okay OPS of 0.775. His lackluster numbers (especially at an older age of 22) help explain why he's taking (at least) a pause in his baseball career.
