Player Summary
Brief Summary
A former two-way standout at USC, Ethan Hedges was selected in the third round of the 2025 draft as a third baseman after a dominant senior season that included a 1.018 OPS, 14 home runs, 10 steals, and a 2.40 ERA with nine saves on the mound. Though he struggled in a brief High-A Spokane stint (.195/.303/.234), his positional versatility and strong college production give him a solid foundation heading into his first full professional season in 2026.
More detailed breakdown
A rare two-way player out of college, Hedges was a 3rd round selection in the 2025 draft after playing third base and pitching in his final year at USC. While he was drafted as a third baseman, he also has experience at first base and in the outfield, and his versatility could be an asset as he moves through the Rockies’ system. Hedges produced an electric final season in college, hitting for a 1.018 OPS with 14 HR’s and 10 SB’s, in addition to making 15 appearances on the bump, and posting a 2.40 ERA, 1.113 WHIP, and recording 9 saves.
As many players do, Hedges struggled to adjust to pro ball during his brief call up after being drafted. Jumping right in with High-A Spokane, he only managed to slash .195/.303/.234 in 89 AB’s. However, getting his feet wet last year should help him prepare for his first full season in the organization. Hedges will look to establish his pro trajectory with a strong 2026.
