The Colorado Rockies bullpen has exhibited a mixed bag of up and down production so far in 2019. While there have been a few relievers who have continued to take steps forward, fans can’t help but think about the future makeup of the relief core and how it could shake out in the next decade.

In the eyes of many baseball fans, the bullpen is a key cog to teams’ overall success. It has been well argued due to the thin mile high air of Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies may be even more so under that microscope of scrutiny and finding success with their relievers.

This year has been amazing at points as well as equally tumultuous, leading fans to think about how to future bullpen may look and who could be next in line to find future success in Colorado. Thankfully, there are a few guys who can be profiled as potential “next men up” when it comes to this part of the team makeup.
