Anderson Pilar Pitches Seven Innings In Combined No-Hitter
1 year agoColorado Rockies pitching prospect Anderson Pilar's rise to relevance has been relatively tedious. Signed as an international free agent in 2015, he didn't reach A-ball until 2021 and remains at the High-A level today. Nevertheless, he has looked solid, maintaining a high K/BB ratio while generally inducing weak contact. With that said, he's seen a blip in his HR/9 and HR/FB rates at High-A, which is something worth monitoring over a larger sample size. Nevertheless, Pilar was brilliant this past week, pitching seven hitless frames during a combined no-no on Tuesday. His final line included a whopping 13 strikeouts to just three walks. Equally impressive is the fact that Pilar initially operated out of the Spokane bullpen when he first reported to the team. However, he has now made two consecutive starts, logging six innings of one-run ball and seven innings of a no-no, respectively.
