The Rockies had a miserable 2023 campaign, recording their first-ever 100-loss season. The silver lining? They received a high pick in the MLB draft.
Colorado has the No. 3 pick in the first round of the draft, which takes place July 14-16 in Fort Worth, Texas. It’s the second-highest position they have selected from (Colorado selected pitcher Greg Reynolds with the No. 2 pick in 2006) and the third time they’ve selected from the No. 3 spot. Pitcher Jon Gray (2013) and infielder Brendan Rodgers (2015) were previously chosen from No. 3.
So do they go for a pitcher with a big arm or another slugger?
