I just recently wrapped up an exploration into the unsung gems pitching in the Rockies’ deceptively deep farm system stretching from Low-A to Triple-A over a month. Due to the nature of weekly releases and the steady and unstoppable forward march of time, there are bound to be pitchers who pop up or names that I might have missed. A whole lot can happen in a month, which brings me to today’s topic: we should all be talking a whole lot more about Fresno Grizzlies starting pitcher Victor Juárez.
Hailing from Monterrey in Nuevo León, Mexico (the same city as beloved all-time Rockies pitcher Jorge De La Rosa), Juárez signed with the Rockies as an international free agent in 2019.
