Before the 2018 season started, Jon Gray was the Rockies pitcher most expected to carry the staff. As the season progressed it looked more and more like Kyle Freeland assumed that role. Both have done their part, but there is one guy who often gets brushed over—German Márquez.
It can be somewhat easy to overlook Márquez; he’s a quiet guy, and his season didn’t really take off until the second half. However, since the All-Star Break he, like Kyle Freeland, has been putting up numbers reminiscent of Ubaldo Jimenez’ remarkable 2010 campaign.
