Colorado Rockies News: The Rockies farm system needs the pitching to catch up in 2023

Colorado Rockies did not do much at the Winter Meetings. General manager Bill Schmidt believes in the current direction of the team. The team is looking to the future and has a good farm system. There are questions about the development of some of their players. They are on the 40-man roster for the first time this season. Some of them have had a bad season and are not expected to be established big league contributors. It is a healthy perspective for a team that is focused on developing the players for future success.  They have a lot of young players with potential to play in big leagues.

Albuquerque Isotopes and Hartford Yard Goats have been struggling to develop their pitching in recent seasons. Ryan Castellani, Robert Tyler and Mike Nikorak have had setbacks. Some young pitchers have broken through and could play for the major leagues. Karl Kauffmann and Noah Davis reached Triple-A last season. Joe Rock reached Double-a at the end of last year.

The Colorado Rockies need to improve their pitching depth to compete in the future. Kevin Kiermaier will play for the Toronto Blue Jays next season. The Rockies want to sign a left-handed hitter to play center field. The contract is pending a physical. Please keep in mind the Purple Row Community Guidelines when you're commenting.
