PEORIA, Ariz. — Left-hander Ryan Rolison, the Rockies’ top pitching prospect, missed chunks of his 2021 season because of injury and illness.
He made up for it by pitching for Licey in the Dominican Winter League.
“It was awesome, because of the talent there and the environment you get to pitch in,” Rolison said Monday after making his first Cactus League start of the spring. “Every single night you have that adrenaline and every game matters over there because their season is so short.”
Rolison, Colorado’s first-round pick out of Ole Miss in 2018 (22nd overall), was not sharp Monday in Colorado’s 8-4 win over the Padres.
