Welker among top 3B prospects
DENVER -- The Rockies think enough of 2015 first-round MLB Draft pick Brendan Rodgers -- ranked the No. 4-ranked shortstop prospect going into 2018, according to MLB Pipeline -- to give him a diverse education.
After the 2016 season, the Rockies sent him and Forrest Wall, another high pick in 2016, to instructional ball in the Dominican Republic in an effort to round out their off-the-field education.
