Can Case Williams, the homegrown pitcher with an already twisty minor-league tale, be a steady hand in the Rockies’ future rotation?
How he does this spring may answer that question.
Williams, 21, will be in a major league camp as a non-roster invite. Colorado’s fourth-round draft pick in 2020 out of Douglas County High, the 6-foot-3 right-hander is coming off a strong 2022 in which he pitched at three minor league levels, culminating with Double-A Hartford.
His numbers are average, with a 5.05 career ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 42 games (40 starts). Plus, Williams isn’t ranked among Colorado’s Top 30 prospects by MLB.
