Like most of the Colorado Rockies, Kyle Freeland has failed to live up to expectations. In fact, he arguably could be the biggest disappointment this season after an unbelievable ’18 campaign. So far, he is 3-10 with a 7.09 ERA in 19 starts, including a trip down to Triple-A.
The Rockies hope their third-year starter out of Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver can get back on track, but there is a recent example in their past that is all too familiar … and that doesn’t bode well.
Last decade, there was another Rockies “ace” who’s early Major League career has some striking similarities to Freeland.
