Knocks in two runs Hampson went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two RBI in the 4-2 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Impact Hampson's two-run double got the Rockies on the board and within two runs in the eighth inning. The 26-year-old is looking to improve on a 2020 season in which he started out hot, but ultimately batted .234 with 60 strikeouts in 184 at-bats. His defensive versatility allows himself to be in the lineup consistently for more plate appearances.

Swipes two bags in win Hampson went 1-for-2 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs in Wednesday's 9-8 spring win over the Brewers.

Impact Hampson batted second in Wednesday's lineup and hit a bunt single in the first inning before stealing two bases. He's mainly been playing in center field this spring but could also fill in at second base over the first few weeks of the season with Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) sidelined. The 26-year-old has posted a .408 on-base percentage with four RBI, four stolen bases and 10 runs across 18 Cactus League games.

Rodgers sidelined at least a month with strained hamstring

Playing center field this spring Hampson has gone 5-for-20 with four runs, two RBI, one stolen base and one strikeout over his first nine Cactus League games in 2021.

Impact Hampson has a chance to play at second base this season, but he's primarily played center field early in camp while Brendan Rodgers carves out playing time at the keystone, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Hampson had a hot start to the season in 2020 but faltered down the stretch while being moved throughout the batting order. The 26-year-old has been focusing on showcasing his speed more this spring and should have a more consistent role near the bottom of the batting order. While most of his playing time to begin the season could come in center field, Hampson's defensive versatility should allow him to carve out regular at-bats between the outfield and at second base.

Rockies OF Ian Desmond opts out for 2nd straight season

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond announced he is opting out for a second straight season

Could work in center field Hampson is "in the mix" in center field to begin spring training, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Manager Bud Black said Wednesday that the center field position is "open" heading into 2021, and Hampson is certainly an option to play at the position to begin the regular season. If he moves to the outfield, Ryan McMahon and Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) would compete for the starting job at second base ahead of Opening Day. Hampson appeared in 53 games for the Rockies during the 2020 campaign, slashing .234/.287/.383 with five home runs and 11 RBI.
