Colorado Rockies minor leagues: Early September recap of all levels

The latest from Colorado Rockies prospects competing in the Dominican Summer League

Finally, we hit the DSL. There weren’t many electric performances, but certain pedigreed prospects stood out.

Hitters:
Adrian Pinto: 28 PAs, .320/.393/.520, 150 wRC+, 1 2B, 2 3B, 3 BB, 2 K
Yanquiel Fernandez: 39 PAs, .452/.538/.839, 250 wRC+, 6 2B, 2 HR, 7 BB, 3 K 🔥🔥🔥
Luis Paredes: 37 PAs, .344/.405/.750, 195 wRC+, 3 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 3 BB, 10 K

Adrian Pinto has the makings of a high-quality top-of-the-order bat, and his consistency stands out as well.

Slugger Yanquiel Fernandez was beyond dominant the last couple of weeks, leaving the ballpark twice and drawing seven walks. His bat looks like one of the most promising from the Rockies international signing groups in years.

Pitchers:
Claudio Galva: 9.0 IP, 1.00 ERA, 3.90 FIP, 5 BB, 8 K
Alberto Pacheco: 6.0 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.00 WHIP, 8 K
Jordy Vargas: 8.0 IP, 0.00 ERA, 1.93 FIP, 2 BB, 10 K 🔥
Wellinton Herrera: 4.1 IP, 0.00 ERA, 2.07 FIP, 1 BB, 5 K

Jordy Vargas has prodigious talent and he’ll likely join Victor Juarez stateside next year.

18-year-old Alberto Pacheco was impressive in his last two outings, punching out 10 without giving up a run.

We’ll have one final farm recap this season following the wrap-up of the MiLB playoffs in roughly a month. In a difficult year for Rockies fans, the prospect pipeline has offered a lot more positives than negatives and should give some traces of hope for the future.
