Tyler and Bowden could make an impact at the major league club very soon if used out of the bullpen.
The Colorado Rockies bolstered their collection of young arms on Thursday, drafting powerful high school pitcher Riley Pint and college hurlers Robert Tyler and Ben Bowden on Day 1 of the 2016 MLB Draft.
Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich has talked until he's blue in the face about the team's strategy to load up on power pitchers, with Pint and Tyler certainly fitting the bill. Pint's fastball has been clocked at upwards of 102 mph, while Tyler is no stranger to triple digits himself.
