Outfielder Tyler Colvin was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the first round of the 2006 amateur draft. He made his pro debut that year with the Boise Hawks, hitting .268 with 11 homers and 53 RBIs in 64 games. He was 0 for 5 and struck out 3 times in the 2007 Baseball World Cup as the backup right fielder to Justin Ruggiano.
Colvin made his major league debut with the Cubs at the tail end of the 2009 season, being called up after controversial outfielder Milton Bradley was suspended for the remainder of the year. Playing centerfield, Colvin obtained a hit in each of his first two starts against the Milwaukee Brewers.
