After being drafted in the fifth round in 2014, Hoskins had over 1,900 plate appearances in the minors to hone his craft. When he got his call, he did not disappoint. Hoskins will be moving to left field this year after the signing of Carlos Santana. He showed up early for camp to get in extra work in the outfield.
