If you're not already keeping an eye on Charlie Condon, now's the time to start. As Colorado's No. 2 prospect, according to MLB.com, he's making a compelling case for a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Condon went 2-for-2 with a walk and smashed a solo homer off Giants lefty Reiver Sanmartin, taking what looked like a sinker over the right field fence. This performance bumped his spring average to a scorching .600.
T.J. Rumfield is another name to watch.
Fresh off a two-homer game, he launched a two-run shot today, strengthening his bid for Colorado's first base position. As March unfolds, keep an eye on his progress.
Gabriel Hughes, ranked No. 14 among Rockies prospects, showcased his skills late in the game, pitching two solid innings with just two hits allowed and a strikeout. Meanwhile, Colorado's bats were on fire, scoring three runs in both the fifth and sixth innings, highlighted by solo homers from Chad Stevens and Ryan Ritter.
Welinton Herrera, the Rockies' No. 20 prospect, sealed the deal in the ninth with a scoreless inning, striking out two.
In Colorado's commanding 11-3 victory over San Francisco, Cole Carrigg, the No. 2 prospect, continued to impress. Preparing for the World Baseball Classic, he went 2-for-3 with two singles, an RBI, and a run, maintaining a .500 average this spring.
Kyle Karros made his presence felt with a 108.1 MPH triple to center, driving in Jordan Beck in the second inning. Jake McCarthy, likely Colorado's everyday left fielder, contributed with an RBI double in the sixth inning, going 1-for-4.
Finally, Brett Sullivan, who joined Colorado on a minor league deal in December, had a standout performance, going 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. This game showcased the depth and potential of Colorado's roster as they gear up for the season.
