10 Colorado Rockies Prospects To Know Beyond The Top 30 in 2024

31. Bladimir Restituyo, OF

Restituyo signed for $200,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2017. The Rockies converted him from the infield to the outfield and he’s steadily progressed over the past five seasons. In 2023, Restituyo spent the entire season with Double-A Hartford and hit .258/.277/.414 with a career-high 15 home runs. Restituyo is an undersized outfielder with standout abilities defensively, a high motor and a big swing. He shows above-average bat-to-ball skills but rarely sees a pitch he doesn’t want to swing at.

32. Evan Justice, LHP

A low-slot lefthanded relief-only prospect, Justice has a unique combination of velocity and unusual angle on his fastball. He mixes a four-seam fastball and a slider primarily with the latter sitting 81-83 mph with gyro shape that generates a high rate of whiffs. Justice struggles to command his slider and will lose his fastball for stretches as well. He does have the stuff to profile as a high-leverage reliever with a solid two-pitch combination and power. 

33. Victor Vodnik, RHP

The Rockies acquired Vodnik a week prior to the deadline in the trade that sent Pierce Johnson to the Braves. After his initial assignment to Double-A Hartford, Vodnik ascended quickly, earning a promotion to the major leagues on Sept. 8. Vodnik’s four-seam fastball sits 96-98 mph from a low release height, which creates unique fastball plane. He throws a two-seam variation of the pitch, a high-80s changeup and a mid-80s slider with cut. Vodnik generates heavy rates of whiffs against his fastball but lacks a go to secondary to profile as a high-leverage reliever. 

34. Jaden Hill, RHP

Entering the 2021 draft cycle, Hill was considered a potential first-round pick. An elbow injury ended his season and required Tommy John surgery. He fell to the Rockies in the second round as a result. Hill made his professional debut in the second half of 2022 and spent all of 2023 at High-A Spokane. He has flashed bat-missing ability early in his professional career but his efforts have been sunk by poor command. Hill mixes a two-seam fastball that sits 95-96 mph with a changeup at 83-85 mph and a mid-80s slider with sweep. 

35. Jack Mahoney, RHP

Mahoney missed all of his sophomore season at South Carolina after having Tommy John surgery. He returned in 2023 and put together a solid season. Mahoney mixes a fastball at 92-95 mph with four-seam and two-seam variations with a slider in the mid-80s with gyro shape. He’ll show a firm upper-80s changeup as well. Mahoney made two appearances for the Rockies’ Arizona Complex League team post-draft.  

36. Riley Pint, RHP

It’s been a long and winding road for Pint, as the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 draft made his major league debut on May 17, 2023. After a litany of injuries Pint has remolded himself as a fireballing reliever with wild bouts of command. Pint’s fastball is a sinker that sits 94-96 mph, pairing it with a nasty mid-to-high-80s sweeper slider that misses bats when Pint commands it. The stuff has never been a question for Pint but if he has the ability to consistently throw strikes is yet to be answered. 

37. Isaiah Coupet, LHP

A deceptive lefthander with a high-effort delivery and plenty of relief risk, Coupet stymied batters in the Big Ten over the last two seasons and racked up plenty of strikeouts. Coupet has a high-spin four-pitch mix led by a low-90s fastball that plays up due to his deceptive release. Coupet’s best pitch is a slider that sits between 81-83 mph with spin rates in the 2,800-2,900 range range with cut and gyro. He shows a upper-70s curveball with moderate depth and also  changeup. 

38. Kyle Karros, 3B

The son of former National League Rookie Of The Year Eric Karros, Kyle enjoyed three solid but unspectacular seasons at UCLA, where he showed solid plate skills and projectable power due to his 6-foot-5 frame. 

39. Cade Denton, RHP

Denton found success as a reliever over three seasons with Oral Roberts, racking up 170 strikeouts and 22 saves over 135.1 innings. The Rockies selected Denton in the sixth round and signed him to an overslot bonus of $500,000. Denton mixes a two-seam fastball that sits 95-96 mph, a slider at 83-84 mph with heavy cut and a mid-to-high-80s changeup with splitter traits. Denton looks like a potential one-inning reliever capable of missing bats and driving groundballs at a high rate. 

40. Seth Halvorsen, RHP

Halvorsen was drafted for the third time in 2023, finally signing with the Rockies in the seventh round. He dealt with a fracture in his right elbow in 2022 and missed the season. He returned in 2023 and showed his signature high-powered mix. Halvorsen mixes a 96-98 mph two-seam fastball with a mid-80s slider and a firm split-change. He profiles best as a reliever and could most quickly over the next few seasons.
