Mundell moved around a bit in college—primarily used as a DH, but also catching a bit and playing some first base. Most of all, he hit. His bat caught the attention of the Rockies, and they made him the first college position player they drafted in 2015. They got more than they bargained for.
Mundell set a modern-day minor-league record with 59 doubles at low Class Asheville in 2016, and followed it up by hitting a combined .300 with 15 homers, 78 RBIs and an .857 OPS between at High-A Lancaster and Double-A Hartford in 2017. Mundell has power potential to go with what is a very disciplined approach, making hard contact and driving the ball the opposite way. Once he makes adjustments and starts to turn on pitches, more home runs figure to come. He has settled in at first base with soft hands and instincts, even though he had only limited time at the position before pro ball. Further, Mundell has provided a very strong clubhouse influence as a true leader.
Mundell will have to continue to hit as a first base-only prospect, but that’s never been a problem. He has a chance to post huge numbers at Triple-A Albuquerque in 2017.
