"That's one of the most things I'm asked, 'How hard do you throw?'" Pint said. "But I really just go out and just try to pitch. I'm not trying to light up radar guns or anything."

Pint, the highest high school pick out of the state of Kansas, also has a changeup and knuckle-curve that are his most-developed pitches, and a traditional curve that he began throwing this year.

The last time the Rockies used a top choice on a pitcher with a triple-figures fastball was 2013, when they took budding star righty Jon Gray out of the University of Oklahoma.
