Charlie Condon, the highly touted prospect for the Colorado Rockies, has had a rollercoaster start to his professional career. After being drafted third overall in 2024 and earning a record-setting bonus, expectations were sky-high. However, his debut with High-A Spokane was far from stellar, leaving many fans and analysts scratching their heads.
With a batting line of .180/.248/.270 and a staggering 34 strikeouts in just 109 plate appearances, Condon's struggles have raised questions about his readiness for the big leagues. Was this just a case of a young player adjusting to the professional level, or are there deeper issues at play?
Some scouts still see the potential for a player with 30-homer upside, drawing comparisons to Kris Bryant. But can Condon bounce back and fulfill that promise? What do you think contributed to his disappointing debut? Was it the lingering hand injury, the pressure of high expectations, or something else entirely?
As we look ahead to the 2025 season, what are your bold predictions for Condon? Will he find his footing and rise through the ranks, or are we witnessing the beginning of a cautionary tale? Share your thoughts, experiences with similar prospects, and insights on how the Rockies should handle Condon moving forward.
