Rockies’ farm director Zach Wilson says all of the club’s representatives on the Salt River Rafters in the Arizona Fall League are living up to their billing as the potential future of the franchise.
Pitchers Ryan Castellani, Mitch Horacek, Justin Lawrence and Jesus Tinoco as well as infielder Josh Fuentes, infielder Tyler Nevin and outfielder Sam Hilliard are Colorado’s seven players in the league, which showcases the top prospects in minor league baseball. Nevin, 21, was a late addition to the River Rafters’ roster after taking the place of infielder Brendan Rodgers, who was held out this fall for precautionary reasons related to shoulder tightness.
