Christopher Michael Bostick (born March 24, 1993) is an American professional baseball second baseman in the Washington Nationals' organization.
Career
Bostick grew up in Gates, New York, and attended the Aquinas Institute in Rochester, New York. Playing for the school's baseball team, he had a .507 batting average as a junior and a .510 average as a senior. In his senior year, he was named the New York State Class B Player of the Year. He committed to attend St. John's University on a college baseball scholarship. The Oakland Athletics selected Bostick in the 44th round, with the 1,366th overall selection, of the 2011 MLB draft. He opted to sign with the Athletics rather than attend college, and received a $125,000 signing bonus.[1][2][3]
Bostick made his professional debut with the Arizona Athletics of the Rookie-level Arizona League in 2011, and played for the Vermont Lake Monsters of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League in 2012. He appeared in the New York–Penn League All-Star Game.[4] The Athletics assigned Bostick to the Beloit Snappers of the Class A Midwest League in 2013.[1] On December 3, 2013, the Athletics traded Bostick and Michael Choice to the Texas Rangers for outfielder Craig Gentry and pitcher Josh Lindblom.[5][6] Playing for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League, Bostick had a .251 batting average, a .322 on-base percentage, and a .412 slugging percentage.[7]
After the 2014 season, the Rangers traded Bostick and Abel De Los Santos to the Washington Nationals for Ross Detwiler.[7] Bostick began the 2015 season with the Potomac Nationals of the Carolina League, and was promoted to the Harrisburg Senators of the Class AA Eastern League in June.[8] The Nationals added him to their 40-man roster after the 2015 season.[9]
