Dollander picked No. 9 by the Rockies

"The Rockies always need pitching, and they’ve been linked to Dollander for months; he’s also a perfect pick for them because a year ago, if you’d said Dollander would go ninth overall, anyone involved in the draft would have told you that you were out of your mind. At his best, he’s 93-97 mph with a wipeout slider, but changed his slider grip this spring and saw the pitch back way up to the point where there were games where he wouldn’t get a single whiff on the pitch. He throws a ton of strikes and has enough changeup that there’s no concern about him starting. You just have to hope the Rockies can restore his 2022 slider, in which case they might have a No. 2 starter."

The Rockies - maybe more than anyone - need ground ball pitchers.
