February is there and the spring training is fast approaching, which can only mean one thing around these parts: it is time to classify the prospects for a minor league. Each team through the majors sells hope for their fans: some sell it more immediate, in the form of active issues full of free agent signatures and commercial acquisitions. Others, on the other hand, sell him in the character of prospects who could make the difference in the coming years.
CBS Sports continues to examine the three main prospects of each organization. Our definition of “prospect” is simple: does this player have a recruit eligibility that remains for the 2025 season? If so, they are a perspective; Otherwise, that’s probably why your favorite young player is absent from the procedure.
As always, these lists are formed as a result of conversations with scouts, analysts, players’ development specialists and other industry talent assessors. There is a good amount of first -hand evaluation, statistical analysis and also mixed historical research. In addition, a bunch of personal biases – we all have certain features and profiles that we prefer to others, there is no sense to claim the opposite.
Keep in mind that there is not a single good answer with this kind of thing. In addition, these are only our opinions, which means that they have no real impact on the future. We have already published our ranking of the 25 best prospects in all minors.
With all this away, let’s classify the first three prospects of the Colorado Rockies system.
Top 25: N ° 16
The short hook: The rapid pairing of the ball ball should allow the beginnings in 2025
Dollander entered the 2023 recovery cycle considered to be the best launcher in the class thanks to an arsenal led by a fast ball stellar combination. He was finally exceeded (then some) by Paul Skenes while he was fighting against coherence problems. Since his professional return, however, he has done well to remind people why he was very tuned in the first place. Dollander separated last season between High- and Double-A, withdrawing more than a third of the strikers he faced (although with an inflated walking rate) and positioning himself to make his debut in the big league As soon as possible. It is never easy to launch home games at Coors Field, but Dollander has at least half-rotation if he can stay on the right track. Mlb And: Spring 2026
The short hook: The angle battle tested out of the outburst of shocking beginnings
Condon was considered the best player in the draft class last year: a dry angle bat with an attractive combination of contact, base and power lines that caused comparisons with Kris Bryant, between others. He therefore qualified as a surprise that his initial exhibition to Pro Ball saw him hit. The question here is how much should you weigh this initial pro look? There is no right answer. It is more than just to write that Condon will obviously have to do much better – and quickly – if he does not want the rocks to start regretting what seemed to be a safe choice. MLB and: Summer 2026
The short hook: Intermediate shifts who reach singles and walks
Amador had a Dickensan season: it was the best time (he made his debut in the big league in June) and the worst time (he hit a career .230 / .343 / .376 in double A). His profile does not stay for everyone. It is unlikely that it even boasts of average strength, exerting pressure on his tool as a lifetime at the height of his billing more. There are reasons to take the money, since Amador is subject both to draw the ball and to become too far below, which leads to a lot of balls struck easily. He will play most of the 2025 season at the age of 22, which allows him to give him at least a year to make the necessary adjustments. MLB and: Already made his debut
