Rockies sign pitcher Tanner Propst

Today, the Colorado Rockies announced that they have signed left-handed pitcher Tanner Propst. The non-drafted free agent is a native of Madison, Mississippi who attended Delta State University.

Propst — a 6-foot, 195-pound redshirt junior — made 10 relief appearances in 2020. During the abbreviated season, he posted a record of 2-0 with two saves and a 3.72 ERA (9 ²⁄₃ IP, 4 ER) with two walks and 17 strikeouts

In 2018, Propst made two appearances for Louisiana Tech University, striking out five across two hitless innings. This follows a celebrated career at Madison-Ridgeland Academy, where he posted a 2.27 ERA and struck out 59 batters in just 49 ¹⁄₃ innings as a senior in 2016. He also earned both All-Conference and All-Star Game selections en route to pitching a complete game in the 4A State Championship. The Patriots won 32 games that year, a school record.

Per Colorado Rockies policy, terms of the agreements will not be disclosed.
