13. Helcris Olivarez (366 points, 20 ballots)
Helcris Olivarez possesses one of the higher ceilings among Rockies pitching prospects. In fact, the 21-year-old 6’3”, 200-pound lefty was protected on the 40-man roster after excelling in fall instructs in 2020 despite never pitching above rookie ball at that point. Olivarez, who signed back in 2016 for $65k, boasts a bat-missing repertoire that includes a mid-90s fastball from the left side and an above-average curve, as well as his smooth delivery.
