Professional career

[edit | edit source]

The Colorado Rockies selected Bouchard in the ninth round of the 2017 MLB draft. Bouchard made his professional debut for the Low-A Boise Hawks, posting a .290/.390/.477 slash in his first season. In 2018, Bouchard played in 125 games for the Single-A Asheville Tourists, batting .257/.324/.430 with 14 home runs, 75 RBI, and 22 stolen bases. In 2019, he played for the High-A Lancaster JetHawks, slashing .292/.354/.496 with 13 home runs and 68 RBI in 91 games.

Bouchard did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] In 2021, he played in 91 games for the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats, hitting .266/.336/.494 with 14 home runs, 46 RBI, and 8 stolen bases. He was assigned to the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes to begin the 2022 season.

Bouchard was called up to the majors for the first time by the Rockies on June 16, 2022.[3] He made his debut on June 19, in which he went 0-3 with a walk.[4] He went hitless in seven at-bats before he suffered a strained left oblique and was placed on the injured list on June 27.[5] On July 16, after a short rehab stint, Bouchard was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A.[6] On August 30, Bouchard recorded his first career hit, a single off of Jay Jackson of the Atlanta Braves.[7] He hit his first major league home run on September 2, a two–run shot off of Luis Cessa of the Cincinnati Reds.[8] He finished the season appearing in 27 games for the Rockies, posting a slash of .297/.454/.500 with 3 home runs and 11 RBI.

On March 9, 2023, it was announced that Bouchard had suffered a ruptured left biceps muscle and would require surgery that was likely to be season-ending.[9] However, Bouchard rehabilitated the injury and was activated from the injured list on August 14; he was subsequently optioned to Triple–A Albuquerque.[10] In 21 games for Colorado late in the year, Bouchard hit .316/.372/.684 with four home runs and seven RBI.

Bouchard was optioned to Triple–A Albuquerque to begin the 2024 season.[11] In 31 appearances for the Rockies, Bouchard batted .187/.290/.297 with one home run, eight RBI, and four stolen bases.

Bouchard made 32 appearances for Colorado during the 2025 campaign, batting .167/.247/.242 with one home run, seven RBI, and one stolen base. Bouchard was designated for assignment by the Rockies on July 25, 2025.[12] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque on August 1.[13] Bouchard elected free agency following the season on November 6.[14]
