Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 2, Charlie Condon

Related Topics: Charlie Condon, Rockies

Condon’s 2024 professional debut was a bit of a dud, but let’s not forget why he was so highly regarded as a prospect. The 21-year-old righty slugger received a MLB record-tying $9.25 million bonus as the third-overall pick in the 2024 draft (about $180k over slot) because of his huge offensive ceiling. Condon can translate his immense power into games, he hits for average, and has rare defensive ability for his size.

Condon was a one-man wrecking crew in 2024 for Georgia, as the 6’6”, 216-pound hitter smashed 37 homers — a record in the NCAA’s “BBCOR” bats era — and won the prestigious Golden Spikes award as the top amateur baseball player in the country.
