• Athletics' Henry Bolte: Draws praise from manager

  Rotowire Mar 2, 2026

  Bolte went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday's Cactus League win over the Reds. Bolte collected a pair of singles as part of a strong offensive showing for the Athletics on Sunday. Following the game, manager Mark Kotsay said, "There's a lot of us in that coaches' room that think [Bolte] has the ability to be a real star. He continues to make progress each year, both on the physicality side and the baseball side of just being a better hitter," Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Kotsay added, "The tools, the talent and the ability all align with this kid having an impact in our organization, hopefully sooner than later." Bolte is likely to open the season at Triple-A Las Vegas, but the 22-year-old earning a call-up at some point in 2026 appears to be a very realistic possibility.

• Athletics' Henry Bolte: On IL at Double-A

  Rotowire Jul 10, 2025

  Double-A Midland placed Bolte on the 7-day injured list June 30 with an undisclosed injury. A righty-hitting outfielder with plus-plus speed and plus raw power, Bolte is repeating Double-A after logging a 38.8 percent strikeout rate in 54 games there in 2024. Prior to his injury, he was slashing .274/.377/.423 with seven home runs, 31 steals and a 26.9 percent strikeout rate in 75 games. His contact rate at Double-A is up from 60.9 percent in 2024 to 69.3 percent this year, so while he has improved, Bolte still projects to strike out a lot at the highest level.

• Athletics' Henry Bolte: Moves up to Double-A

  Rotowire Jul 1, 2024

  The Athletics promoted Bolte from High-A Lansing to Double-A Midland on Monday. The 20-year-old outfielder will head to the Texas League after he turned in a .276/.394/.515 slash line with 11 home runs and 28 stolen bases across 320 plate appearances. Bolte boasts a solid blend of pop, speed and on-base skills, but improving on his shaky hit tool will likely be essential if he's to stick in an everyday role by the time he reaches the big leagues. He struck out at a 30.9 percent clip in the Midwest League, which was actually an improvement from his rate over 491 plate appearances with Single-A Stockton in 2023 (33.4 percent).
