Rockies prospects are showing help is on the horizon

It's tempting to draw conclusions from a few spring training games, but Colorado's prospects are making that awfully hard to resist.

Tuesday afternoon's win over the Los Angeles Angels perfectly illustrated this—Rockies No. 2 prospect Charlie Condon made it happen in just one at-bat.

We've seen rave reviews about his power from his days at the University of Georgia, and it's a big reason Colorado selected him second overall in the 2024 MLB Draft.

He gave the Rockies a two-run cushion with one swing of the bat, demolishing a 1-1 slider that hung over the middle of the plate—a 449 ft shot to left center.

This was just a day removed from Rockies No.11 prospect Zac Veen's walkoff shot

It's hard not to be impressed by Veen's story and what he's overcome this past year. It also takes real courage to speak out about experiences like his.

Veen, like Condon, needed only one at-bat to make an impression Monday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox.

Veen delivered his own emphatic shot in a left-on-lefty matchup, launching a 1-1 cutter to the moon. The ball traveled an estimated 468 feet at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.

Rockies No. 3 prospect Cole Carrigg has been turning heads this spring training, and for good reason the way he's been swinging it.

He's appeared in four games this spring, posting a .444/.444/.889 slash line with two doubles, a triple, and three RBI.

He went 2-for-3 against the Angels on Tuesday afternoon, including an RBI double. Colorado has deployed him at both shortstop and center field.

Rockies No. 12 prospect Sean Sullivan is also a name to watch this spring.

The southpaw has thrown two scoreless innings so far, striking out four batters without allowing a hit.

Sullivan probably won't make the club out of spring training, but he's worth keeping an eye on when the season hits its midpoint.

After enduring last season's disappointing 43-win campaign, these prospects are giving us something to believe in.
