He was named the Mountain East Conference Player of the Year in 2018 after hitting .415 with 98 hits, 14 home runs, 16 doubles and 68 RBIs.[4] Doyle repeated as the conference Player of the Year in 2019 after batting .392 with 13 home runs, six triples, 17 doubles and 47 RBIs and 79 runs scored as a junior.[5][6]

Professional career

[edit]

The Colorado Rockies selected Doyle in the fourth round of the 2019 MLB draft.[7] He received a $500,000 signing bonus.[8] Doyle was assigned to the Grand Junction Rockies of the Pioneer League, where he led the league with a .383 batting average with 8 home runs, 33 RBI, and 17 stolen bases.[9][10] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 since the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and spent most of the year training in Manassas, Virginia at a baseball complex alongside local college players until taking part in the Rockies' fall instructional league.[11]

Doyle was named the best overall athlete in the Rockies' minor league system going into the 2021 season.[12] He was assigned to the Spokane Indians of the High-A West League for 2021, where he batted .279 with 16 home runs, 47 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases in 97 games played and awarded a Minor League Rawlings Gold Glove Award.[3] Doyle played most of the 2022 season for the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats, playing nine games for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes in September. In 132 games, he hit a combined .256/.300/.473 with 26 home runs, 77 RBI, and 23 stolen bases.[13]

Doyle was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque to begin the 2023 season.[14] On April 24, 2023, Doyle was promoted to the major leagues for the first time. He had batted .306/.404/.633 with 5 home runs and 8 RBIs in 12 Triple-A games prior to his promotion.[15] Doyle made his major league debut later that day, starting in center field and going hitless in three at-bats with one walk and one run scored.[16] On September 2, Doyle made a throw from center field with a speed of 105.7 mph, the fastest throw by a position player since at least 2015.[17] Doyle ended his rookie season hitting .203 with 10 home runs and 22 stolen bases in 126 games while winning a Gold Glove Award in center field.

In 2024, Doyle won his second consecutive Gold Glove,[18] and his hitting improved. He was named the National League Player of the Month for July, after batting .333 with 19 extra base hits.[19] For the season, he hit .260/.317/.446 with 23 home runs and 30 stolen bases in 149 games.[18]
