25. German Marquez — Colorado Rockies
Everyone knows the story when it comes to pitchers in Colorado — it is nearly impossible to post ‘great’ numbers. The Rockies have two very talented pitchers atop their rotation in Kyle Freeland and German Marquez. Freeland finished fourth for the NL Cy Young in 2018, and Marquez is a former All-Star. Both struggled last season — especially Marquez — but we envision the flamethrower to have a better 2023. The former All-Star has a five-pitch mix, but is at his best when his sinker is dialed in. When right, the pitch looks like Marquez’s four-seam fastball until it drops off the plate at the last second.
