Colorado Rockies: Top 10 Prospect Update

2.  David Dahl

As only the prospect on our list who is currently logging time on Blake Street, David Dahl looks poised to stay in the big leagues. As the 10th-overall pick in the 2012 draft, Dahl has had some big expectations following him around his entire a career. His career has featured a lot of missed time due to injury, including a scary outfield collision that cost Dahl a spleen.

In 2016, Dahl has avoided injury and posted the best power numbers of his career. Starting the season in Double-A, Dahl has posted a .278 average with 13 home runs and 16 stolen bases. His Double-A performance earned Dahl a promotion to Albuquerque where he lasted only 16 games after hitting .484 and five home runs. Based on these numbers he earned himself an immediate call-up to Colorado where he has not disappointed.
