The draft is behind us and it’s time to assess what the Rockies did to improve their farm system this year. The MLB draft consists of 40 rounds so it’s a lot of new names in the organization. I’ll go through the first 12 rounds and write up a brief summary of each player. After round 12 I’ll pick out a group of players I’ll be following closely throughout the summer. If you’re wondering which of these players have signed, check out our draft tracker.
Round 1, pick 22: Ryan Rolison, RHP, Ole Miss
Rolison went from a top ten pick to start the year to a projected early second round selection to a projected late first round selection due in large part to an ill-fated tweak to his delivery.
