In 2016, the Colorado Rockies drafted Riley Pint as the fourth overall prospect right out of high school in the June draft and he spent the rest of the 2016 season with the Rookie-level Grand Junction Rockies. In 2017, he was promoted to Single-A Asheville. However, in 33 professional starts, numbers say that he has really struggled.
In those starts, he is 3-16 with an ERA of 5.40. He has had a WHIP of 1.70 and he has been walking nearly six batters per nine innings while striking out eight per nine innings.
However, Rockies farm director Zach Wilson said that the numbers don’t really matter:
Numbers are numbers, and in the development world, they don’t tell the whole story.
