3 years agoColorado Rockies pitching prospect Tony Locey mowed down batters with ease in his last outing on May 11. When all was said and done, it took him just six innings to tally 10 strikeouts. He allowed zero hits in the process and earned the win. However, on a negative note, Locey did walk six batters. That figure represented a season-worst, though not by much. In his previous outing, he had issued five walks. In order for the 23-year-old to climb his way to the majors (and pick up fantasy relevance along the way), he'll need to demonstrate much better command. Nevertheless, the Rockies have to enjoy what they've seen from Locey, a big-bodied right-hander with an impressive fastball that sits in the upper-90s. He also has a curveball with good vertical break, a putaway slider, and a changeup that remains in the developmental stage. Locey throws hard, isn't afraid to attack batters, and has a reputation for inducing ground balls. There have been concerns about his high walk rate, but Locey's track record as of late warrants some optimism.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
