Chase Dollander Makes Tweaks Entering Second Season
Colorado Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander made his MLB debut much earlier than expected in 2025 and struggled to a 2-12 record, 6.52 ERA, and 1.55 WHIP while striking out 82 and walking 49 in 98 innings over his 21 starts. He was better on the road away from hitter-friendly Coors Field, though, posting a 3.40 ERA in 10 away starts compared to a 9.98 ERA in 11 home starts. The 24-year-old heads into his second big-league season with a detailed plan to fix the direction of his motion. "I was a little bit more cross-body -- I was pulling off everything," Dollander said. After making tweaks this offseason, Dollander's fastball and slider are in the zone more, and he's getting more vertical break on his heater. The former Tennessee star could become more intriguing if his tweaks lead to results, but his 18.6% strikeout rate and 11.1% walk rate were not encouraging in 2025.
