Rockies Manager Shares More Details On Why Star Rookie Was Demoted

Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies have boasted one of the worst pitching staffs in recent memory over the first several months of the 2025 season, with the team ranking at or near the bottom of the league in every major statistical category. Just about every pitcher in the Rockies clubhouse has struggled to find any success on the bump, and this includes the team’s former top prospect in right-hander Chase Dollander. Colorado took Dollander with the ninth overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft in hopes that he would become their Ace of the future, and the rookie made his big league debut back at the start of April. The Rockies promoted the righty in hopes that he would add some stability to a shaky at best rotation, but it’s become very apparent that he isn’t quite ready for The Show just yet.
