There was once a time that Ryan Rolison was going to be the next big thing for the Colorado Rockies pitching staff. Drafted 22nd overall in 2018 from the University of Mississippi, Rolison was expected to move quickly through the minors and boost the core of pitchers that helped the Rockies reach the playoffs in 2017 and 2018.
After spending most of his first full year of pro ball in High-A in 2019 where he posted a 4.87 ERA in 22 starts and having 2020 wiped out by the pandemic, the timeline got skewed for Rolison, but there was still a chance he could appear by 2022 at the latest.
