The Colorado Rockies have a lot riding on their young prospects, and one name that has been generating buzz is Jackson Cox. Drafted in the second round in 2022, Cox's journey has been anything but smooth, especially after undergoing Tommy John surgery. As we look ahead to the 2025 season, the question on everyone's mind is: can he bounce back and fulfill the promise that made him a top pick?
Cox's impressive curveball, which has been described as having deep and late bite, is certainly a highlight of his skill set. However, his struggles with control and a below-average fastball velocity raise concerns. With a 7.26 ERA in his limited innings, it’s clear that he has a long way to go. But here’s where it gets interesting: if he can regain his form and develop a stronger fastball, could he become a key player for the Rockies in the coming years?
Let’s dive into the discussion. What are your thoughts on Jackson Cox's potential? Do you believe he can overcome his injury setbacks and become a reliable starter? How do you feel about the Rockies' approach to developing their pitching prospects?
Additionally, with the Rockies inviting 23 players to spring training, do you think they should consider a six-man rotation to manage the workload of their young arms?
Share your insights, bold predictions, and any experiences you have with following young talent in the league. Let’s get the conversation rolling!
