We start off this edition of the Purple Row Prospects (PuRPs) list with the most tantalizing, most frustrating profile in the entire system: Riley Pint. Few prospects can lay claim to having had the most potent arsenal in all of minor league baseball — including a 102 mph, 75 grade fastball and multiple potential plus secondary offerings including a 70 grade curveball — but many will never pitch above A-ball, which is the highest level attained by Pint in the last five years. It’s a sizable gulf between a MLB ace and A-ball flameout, but unfortunately the 6’4” righty looks to be much closer to the latter than the former.
Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 30, Riley Pint
