With Colorado’s rebuilding youth movement in full swing as the club attempts to turn the corner after consecutive 100-loss seasons, here are five Rockies prospects with the most at stake as non-roster invites in big-league spring training.
Chase Dollander
Colorado’s 2023 first-round pick has lived up to expectations so far. In his first full professional season last summer, he checked several boxes, including impressive showings in High-A Spokane (2.83 ERA in 14 starts) and Double-A Hartford (2.25 in nine) as well as an appearance in the All-Star Futures Game in Arlington, Texas.
With a mid-to-high 90s fastball plus a slider, changeup and curveball, a solid spring training performance could help Dollander skip Triple-A and land on the opening-day roster.
