Rockies Journal: Ryan Feltner, unleashing his “mental tiger,” could be Colorado’s best starter

DALLAS — The most intriguing player on the Rockies’ 2025 roster? I’ll take right-hander Ryan Feltner. I’m not alone.

During this week’s Winter Meetings, a National League manager told me that Feltner “has the stuff to be the top arm in that rotation.”

“He’s grown up a lot,” said the manager, who asked that I not use his name. “And he’s got the kind of fastball that gets on guys in a hurry, kind of sneaks up on them. If he can improve his secondary pitches and stay healthy, he’ll be a force.”

Feltner, 28, has endured a roller-coaster career, with more downs than ups.
