The biggest news heading into this season was the four members of the Asheville starting rotation slated to repeat Low-A, and a week later the group is struggling to find some consistency. Riley Pint (No. 3 PuRP) is already on the disabled list and after the first run through the rotation the starters were sporting a combined ERA of 9.20.
Selected No. 4 overall by the Rockies in the 2016 draft, Riley Pint has flashed a triple-figures fastball which has the organization licking their chops. The big righty was inconsistent with his off-speed pitches and locating his fastball in 2017, so a year later he’s back and ready to show some improvement.
