Carson Palmquist Solid Over Five Innings For Double-A Hartford
5 months agoColorado Rockies starting pitching prospect Carson Palmquist fanned five over five innings of work on Thursday for Double-A Hartford. He allowed two runs on five hits, adding to his impressive strikeout total. His 74 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings give him the highest strikeout rate in Double-A this season. The No. 14 prospect for the Rockies is (4-2) with a 3.02 ERA this year for the Yard Goats. The 6-foot-3 left-hander is not a flamethrower, but his deceptiveness often makes it challenging for hitters to make contact. The high strikeout rate is precisely what fantasy managers look for in a starting pitcher. While pitching at Coors Field makes for a scary proposition, Palmquist has the tools to be a successful big-league pitcher when he does get the opportunity.
