Chase Dollander Strikes Out Eight Across Seven Frames
10 months agoColorado Rockies starting pitching prospect Chase Dollander tossed seven innings of one-run ball (0 earned) with five hits, one walk, and eight strikeouts. Dollander has looked quite strong in his past three starts, with a 2.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 6:19 BB:K ratio. Through his first 51 innings of minor league ball, the former ninth overall pick in the 2023 Draft has held a 2.65 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. It is promising to see the young right-hander start his career in High-A and perform very well. Dynasty managers should continue to pay close attention to the Tennessee product as he could develop into one of the best pitching prospects in the minors.

Chase Dollander Strikes Out Five In Triple-A Debut
4 days agoColorado Rockies starting pitching prospect Chase Dollander tallied five strikeouts across four innings of work in his Triple-A debut. He allowed six hits, two walks, and one earned run. Dollander was competing for a spot in the starting rotation in Colorado but fell just short in the competition. However, the former ninth overall pick may not need much time in Triple-A if he continues to produce at this level. Last summer, Dollander made his professional debut and progressed quite quickly through the Colorado pipeline. He opened the season at High-A and logged 70 innings to the tune of a 2.83 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Then at Double-A, Dollander posted a 2.25 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP across 48 innings. He is worth stashing in all standard formats as he should push for an early MLB debut this season.

Chase Dollander Likely To Begin In Triple-A
2 weeks agoColorado Rockies pitching prospect Chase Dollander struck out seven in 3 2/3 scoreless innings in a 3-1 win over the division-rival San Francisco Giants in Cactus League action on Tuesday night, but the ninth overall pick out of Tennessee in 2023 hasn't gone without ups and downs in spring training. He allowed five runs and needed 50 pitches in 1 2/3 innings on March 8 against the Athletics. Colorado views the 23-year-old as a potential future ace, but The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders writes that he's likely to open the year at Triple-A Albuquerque. As it stands now, the Rockies are expected to open the year with a four-man rotation of Kyle Freeland, Ryan Feltner, German Marquez and Antonio Senzatela. Dollander, the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, will make his MLB debut in 2025, but it could depend on the health and performance of the veterans already in the rotation.

Chase Dollander Strikes Out Seven In Latest Cactus League Start
2 weeks agoColorado Rockies starting pitching prospect Chase Dollander threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants. The righty allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters. It marks two consecutive outings without giving up a run for the Rockies' No. 1 prospect, although it hasn't all been pretty this spring. Overall, the former first-rounder has allowed nine earned runs on 11 hits and nine walks to go with 18 strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings. The 6-foot-2 hurler still has a chance to earn a rotation spot, but with no experience at Triple-A and some room left to improve, starting the season in Albuquerque may be the smarter long-term move for Colorado. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation, as Dollander could be a viable asset in deeper and NL-only leagues if he were to make the Opening Day roster.

Chase Dollander Tosses Four Shutout Frames On Thursday
3 weeks agoColorado Rockies starting pitching prospect Chase Dollander tossed four shutout frames during Thursday's spring training contest. He allowed just two hits, two walks, and struck out three batters. This is a much-needed bounce-back showing for Dollander as he allowed two hits and five earned runs across one 2/3 innings in his previous outing. The top prospect has a chance to make the Opening Day roster and Thursday's outing put him back in the running. Last summer, the Tennessee product made his professional debut and looked quite comfortable. He held a 2.83 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP across 70 innings at High-A. At Double-A, the former ninth-overall pick posted a 2.25 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP and 58 punchouts in 48 innings. If he does make the Opening Day roster, he is worth drafting in the final rounds of all drafts given his elite strikeouts upside he flashed in the minor leagues.
