Checking in with Tanner Gordon one month into his MLB career

Back in July, Tanner Gordon made his MLB debut, which he discussed here.

But rookies are like kids: They grow up so fast.

On Friday, Gordon will have started five games for the Colorado Rockies, and currently has a 6.15 ERA (5.34 FIP) with 23 Ks in 26.1 IP. Add to that three walks, and it’s a solid start. Gordon’s still got to work on not giving up home runs (a 2.39 HR/9 isn’t going to cut it), but the 26-year-old rookie is on the right track.

Last week, he provided an updated on his time with the Rockies, discussing the differences between MLB and MiLB pitching, his slider, and a pitch he’s trying to develop.
