The Rockies 2015 fifth round draft pick (and PuRP No. 28) Parker French just finished up a strong season for the High-A Modesto Nuts. The 23 year-old threw 154.2 innings, and while his 6.3 strikeouts per nine don't stand out on his Baseball Reference page, he counters with a low 1.5 walks per nine rate. Like many other pitchers drafted in rounds five or later, French doesn't have standout velocity. A recent scouting report states that his two-seam fastball tops out at 93 mph. But like other pitchers in the Rockies' system, French has exhibited exceptional command of his pitches and is disinclined to walk batters.
