At long last we’ve reached the end of our month-long journey. We’ve explored pitching gems with the Low-A Fresno Grizzlies, the High-A Spokane Indians, and the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats. Now we’re at the highest level of Colorado Rockies affiliated minor league ball before the majors: the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes. Like the other minor league affiliates, the Isotopes have some really interesting pitchers. What differentiates them, however, is that some have already seen big league action... if only for a moment.
At 30 years old, Zach Lee is the oldest pitcher I’ve chronicled during this series and certainly is well traveled.
