Tony Wolters (born June 9, 1992) is an American professional baseball catcher for the Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Career

Wolters was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the third round of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft out of Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, California.[1] Prior to the 2013 season he was moved from an infielder to catcher.[2][3] After the 2014 season, the Indians added Wolters to their 40-man roster.[4] The Indians designated him for assignment before the 2016 season,[5] and he was claimed off of waivers by the Colorado Rockies.[6]

2016

Wolters made his major league debut on April 5, 2016, as a defensive replacement for Nick Hundley. In his first major league at bat Wolters grounded out off of Jake Barrett. During his first major league start on April 10, 2016, Wolters got his major league hit when he singled against James Shields. In the same game Wolters walked and scored a run for the first time in the big leagues. [7]
