A speedy outfielder with decent power, the Atlanta native spent six seasons with the Rockies before he was traded to Houston prior to the 2014 season for outfielder Brandon Barnes and pitcher Jordan Lyles. In his one season as an Astro, Fowler hit .276 with 8 homers and a .774 OPS.

The next offseason, he was shipped to the Cubs for infielder Luis Valbuena and pitcher Dan Straily. In 2016, he made his only All-Star appearance as he helped the Cubs win the World Series. After that, he signed with St. Louis as a free agent and continued to contribute on winning teams. For his 12 years through 2019, the switch-hitter has averaged .260 with 123 homers, 147 steals and a .778 OPS.
