Despite being selected in the 2023 MLB Draft, RHP Chase Dollander (no. 2 PuRP) didn’t make his regular season professional debut for the Colorado Rockies until April 5, 2024. Although he did pitch a scoreless inning while starting the Spring Breakout game back in March, it’s only understandable the 22-year-old from the University of Tennessee would feel amped up for his Opening Day start with the High-A Spokane Indians.
“I started feeling super excited probably a week out and I was like, ‘Alright, you know, I can’t get too amped up about it just yet,’” Dollander said.
