Ryan Rolison’s (No. 1 PuRP) 2021 season so far is mirroring his 2019 campaign. During that 2019 season, Rolison spent just three games in Low-A Asheville before being promoted to High-A Lancaster, where he remained for the rest of the season. (You can read more about the decision process behind that move here.) He made his big league camp debut in 2020, but lost the season due to COVID-19 league protocols. Now in 2021, he has been promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque after making just three starts for the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats. Sound familiar?
The left-hander was selected in the first round of the 2018 draft and has quickly risen through the Rockies farm ranks.
