Working towards “the show”

While it remains to be seen the role Wynkoop will play as he continues to progress through the Rockies’ system, he continues to work diligently to make that dream a reality. Due to the fact he is 25 years old, Wynkoop is just now entering the prime of his career in many regards, which gives him time to improve.

The Rockies are full of young potential currently as well as in their system, and so it may come down to Wynkoop working his way into a bullpen spot at the highest level. In many fans’ eyes, this would be okay. As a staunch lefty, with an ability to have hitters put the ball on the ground, Wynkoop could fill an important role many teams lack in their bullpen.

Next. Was this the turning point for the Colorado Rockies this season?. dark

Nevertheless, best of luck to Wynkoop as he continues on his journey in reaching Major League Baseball.
