Colorado Rockies 2018 Pitching Situation: The Starters

4. Tyler Anderson

Another young guy who will be given the opportunity to prove himself as a starter. Anderson did miss out on games due to knee inflammation that led to arthroscopic surgery.

Although that happened, he will be ready to contribute to the team since he was activated last season as well. Anderson put up adequate numbers for a second-year player in a competitive division.

After he returned from the disabled list, he had four appearances (three of which were starts) and he had a sparkling ERA of 1.19. He does play a vital role with being a LHP as the first three men are RHPs.

Tyler Anderson shows promise as long as he doesn’t get riddled with another knee injury his future is bright with the Rockies.

5. Kyle Freeland

The first thing that pops into everyone’s head is the no-hitter he had going until it ended in the 9th inning. It was a bittersweet moment, Kyle Freeland showed how well he can really pitch.

The Colorado native is setting himself up for a higher spot in the rotation if he can continue on this pace. Freeland showed us his work horse mentality last season by pitching 156 innings with a few minor injuries.

All in all Freeland is a solid guy that could also lead him to being a future ace.
