MLB Drafts are always tricky. It’s fun to get excited about what new prospects are headed to the farm. Then it’s also a test of patience, development, and health in terms of who eventually makes it to the Big Leagues and when.
This season, it was great to see 14 of Colorado’s 21 picks be pitchers and 20 of their selections be from college. The Rockies need pitching depth as quickly as possible, but it will still be a few years before we see any of them putting on the purple jersey.
Outside of the pitchers, the player I am most looking forward to is infielder Kyle Karros, son of former Dodger first baseman Eric Karros.
