Organization Prospect Rankings
Background: After not pitching as a sophomore at Santa Barbara (Calif.) City College, Randall was discovered in weekend semipro games by then-Rockies scout Frank Mattox. A nephew of scouting bureau scout Gary Randall, he threw the first complete-game no-hitter in franchise history in 1996, and combined with Lariel Gonzalez on another no-hitter in 1997. Strengths: Randall's calling card is an excellent sinking fastball, which he complements with a hard curve. He throws quality strikes, constantly attacking hitters. Randall ranked second in the minor leagues in innings last season, and could become a workhorse for the Rockies. Weaknesses: Randall needs to refine his changeup to give him the offspeed pitch that is vital for survival at Coors Field. He's a ground-ball pitcher who needs a quality defensive infield. The Future: Randall has moved one level at a time through the organization, and will be at Colorado Springs to open the season. He will be first in line if a need arises at the big league level.
