On Thursday, the Colorado Rockies drafted pitcher Chris McMahon in the second-round after many thought he would be a first-rounder.

Colorado Rockies draft pick Chris McMahon spoke with the media, including Rox Pile, via Zoom on Friday after he fell lower than what many thought he would in the draft.

McMahon, 21, was the ace for the University of Miami and in the shortened 2020 season, he went 3-0 with an ERA of 1.
