The Rockies have brought left-handed reliever Zac Rosscup back to the organization on a minor league contract, tweets Thomas Harding of MLB.com. He won’t be in big league camp, so he’s presumably ticketed straight for Triple-A Albuquerque.
Rosscup, 31, tossed 18 Major League innings between the Mariners, Blue Jays and Dodgers in 2019, allowing 10 earned run (5.00 ERA) on 22 hits and 19 walks with 26 strikeouts. That type of production has been fairly typical for Rosscup, as he’s traditionally been able to rack up strikeouts in bunches but has also frequently struggled with his control. In 83 2/3 innings at the big league level, Rosscup has punched out 113 hitters (12.2 K/9) but also issued 55 walks (5.9 BB/9), with the result being a lackluster 5.16 earned run average. Rosscup does have a career 2.74 ERA in 115 Triple-A frames, where he’s also managed an impressive 12.7 K/9 mark.
Inb4 something something Rockies don’t make any moves something something
Rockies havent made any GOOD moves THIS offseason.
No such thing as a bad minor league contract.
I prefer Zak Russmug.
I prefer Zac Rossmug
But for the ‘comebackers’ to the mound, I think you’ll favour the Rosscup.
The guy keeps hanging around, props to Zach.
Worlds series Rockies
Rockies are limited to what they can do pitching wise.
