In addition to the pick at No. 10, on Sunday the Rockies also select at No. 31 (a compensation pick for Trevor Story signing with the Red Sox), No. 38 (in Competitive Balance Round A) and No. 50 (s…
Gustafson, general manager Bill Schmidt, vice president/assistant general manager of scouting Danny Montgomery and assistant scouting director Damon Iannelli are the primary decision-makers in this year’s draft. Like they’ve done since 2012, the Rockies are holding their draft at Salt River Fields. There, that foursome and about 30 other people will be locked into the team’s “big board” from Sunday through Tuesday.
In addition to the pick at No. 10, on Sunday the Rockies also select at No. 31 , No. 38 and No. 50 . While many mock drafts have the Rockies looking for a position player in college at No. 10, Colorado will also consider the top arms on the board at that point. Colorado hasn’t selected a pitcher in the first round since right-hander Riley Pint in 2016, and their last first-round pitcher to make it to the majors is Kyle Freeland .
“I know, Bill knows, D-Mont knows, we’ve got to find that next Jon Gray, we’ve got to find that next Kyle Freeland,” Gustafson said. “ it’s not about who’ve we have or haven’t taken in year’s past, it’s about who’s available this year. You get into Day 3, we might be drafting a little bit different in terms of needs, but the focus is on who’s the best player available.
— Likely to be the first arm off the board in a draft heavy in prep and college bats, Porter won Gatorade’s national player of the year in 2022. He’s 6-foot-4 with a high-90s fastball and could give Colorado’s farm badly needed starting pitching depth.A consistent hitter with plus-power, the 6-foot-3 Cross hit 17 homers this spring. Probably not fast enough to be a center fielder in the majors, Cross projects at a corner spot, and would be another future middle-of-the-lineup pillar.
