Latest news and updates about the Rockies
The Colorado Rockies’ offense continues to sizzle as they defeated the San Francisco Giants yesterday 11-3. The team is staying aggressive at the plate and on the bases, and pitching from the regulars hasn’t been too shabby either.

The Rockies have always prided themselves on being a draft-and-develop team. Without the dollars to match the Dodgers or Yankees, they have to; however, they haven’t excelled in either area in recent years. Enter Colorado’s new general manager Josh Brynes, and his plan for development. Byrnes spent the last 11 years in Los Angeles, overseeing […]

1. Charlie Condon (563 points, 19 ballots) Condon’s 2024 professional debut was a bit of a dud, but his first full season as a professional saw the 22-year-old righty slugger hit his way to Double-A. Condon received a MLB record-tying $9.25 million bonus as the third-overall pick in the 2024 draft (about $180k over slot) […]
Over the last few years, we have seen a number of rule changes to Major League Baseball. This year is no different, with the addition of the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) at the major league level. It was originally implemented in the minors starting in 2022, and a few stadiums began using it in spring […]
The Colorado Rockies have completed six spring training games and are 4-2 in those games. They’ve also outscored their opponents 44-34. Spring training games don’t mean much in the grand scheme of things, but in a year such as this for the Rockies, a lot of storylines have emerged and will be watched under a […]

MESA, Arizona — Things were going on swimmingly at Sloan Park for the first four innings, with good Rockies pitching holding the Cubs down and Cade Horton throwing well after Jameson Taillon got lit up early on.

2. Ethan Holliday (554 points, 19 ballots) Ethan Holliday is a name that has been well-known to Rockies fans for a long time, if only from the connection to his father, Rockies great Matt — not to mention his brother, 2022 number one overall pick Jackson. Those connections made it extremely likely the Rockies would […]
After playing in 148 games and slashing .258/.317/.416 with 16 home runs for the Colorado Rockies last season, Jordan Beck’s main takeaway concerned his health and physique. “Just how to take care of your body,” he said. “I mean, you have an idea, I guess. We’d still play the minor leagues 140 games, but 160 […]

Today we look at the Cubs’ right-handed sometime reliever. Gavin Ernest Hollowell was born in Somerset, NJ, 11/04/1997. He’s a 6’7”, 215 pounder, a sixth-round pick by the Rockies in the 2019 Amateur Draft, a graduate of St. John’s. Hollowell had some coffee in Colorado in 2022-23, appearing in 32 games during that span, throwing […]
3. Brody Brecht (476 points, 19 ballots) The statuesque Brecht — a 6’4”, 235-pound, 23-year-old right-hander — has taken on the mantle of becoming the Rockies’ highest-ranked (and highest-ceiling) pitching prospect. Brecht could have been an early draft pick coming out of high school in 2021, but he wanted to play college football as a […]
