The Rockies are hoping Riley Kelly carries on their recent track record of fourth-round draft success.
Colorado picked the 6-foot-5 right-handed pitcher out of UC Irvine at No. 107 to begin the second and final day of the 2025 MLB draft. The fourth round has been a bright spot for the Rockies lately, with four picks from that round since 2018 already making their MLB debut with the club.
A fourth-round review: In ’18, the Rockies took Ryan Feltner out of Ohio State, who became part of the starting rotation. The next year, they selected center fielder Brenton Doyle out of Division II Shepherd University, who won consecutive Gold Gloves to begin his big-league career.
