Unless you’re a hardcore Rockies fan who follows the minor league affiliates closely, chances are you were not familiar with Tyler Anderson two months ago. Anderson was the 2014 Texas League Pitcher of the Year with the Tulsa Drillers, but a stress fracture in his elbow cost him the entire 2015 season.
Many scouts looked at Anderson’s unorthodox delivery and foresaw injury problems, so when it happened, many of those same scouts wrote him off as a prospect. At the end of last season, Jim Callis published his list of the Rockies top 30 prospects.
