We’re about a quarter of the way through the 2022 baseball season, and the less said about the Colorado Rockies’ pitching woes, the better. Fortunately, there is hope for the future both in the short and long term. In the short term, Kyle Freeland’s strong start on Wednesday helped snap a 12-game losing streak to the San Francisco Giants and hopefully set the team on the right course following a rough skid. In the long term, there’s oodles of interesting pitching talent seeded across the levels of the Rockies farm system.
Now that enough time has passed for players to start establishing solid sample sizes of their work, I’d like to look at a few pitchers from each level of the Rockies farm system who have caught my attention.
