No Hitter in the DSL
Also, Gustavo Brazoban threw a no hitter for the Rockies DSL team yesterday. I don’t know that he is any kind of prospect, but worth mentioning a great feat.
Is the DSL league extremely pitcher friendly?
The averages don’t look very good and I have noticed that in the past as well, is this just typically a league that favors pitchers?

A lot of the players
are under the age of 18, although I don’t know what difference this makes.

Thomas Field is giving us the definition of "breakout year"
Has he become a legitimate candidate for Rockies’ 2B in the next couple of years?

the way this Matt Reynolds character is pitching

Matzek
had another very good outing. I still look at the fact that he gave up 2 of the 3 runs in the 6th inning, when he is likely tiring since he is still being stretched out. His other run came in the 1st when many good pitchers struggle, so yes I am finding a lot of excuses, but seriously he is throwing very well.

I live in Asheville and had a chance to go watch him pitch yesterday. I will be honest, it wasn’t that good of an outing. He did get 7 K’s, but he pitched behind to a lot of hitters and left his fastball up. He was sitting around 87-90 for most of the game according to the stadium radar, so I wouldn’t hold too much to that. Definitely not the “flame thrower” I was expecting though. He seems to really struggle with runners on as well. With all of that being said, he is a great kid and has a wonderful attitude. It will be fun to watch the adjustments he makes for the rest of the season
