Rockies Turn to Jaden Hill for Tuesday's Save, Worth a Pickup in Deep Leagues?
Colorado Rockies right-hander Jaden Hill picked up his first save of the season on Tuesday, pitching a scoreless ninth inning in his team's 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. Across 25 1/3 innings (30 games) in 2026, Hill has pitched to a 4.97 ERA and 1.66 WHIP with 27 strikeouts. The 26-year-old throws hard (97.2 miles per hour average fastball velocity) and has struck out more than a batter per inning in each of his last two seasons with Colorado. However, he's struggled with command this year, posting a 14.2% walk rate. The Rockies have mostly used right-hander Antonio Senzatela as their closer this season, but the veteran is widely considered to be a likely trade candidate as the deadline draws closer. If Senzatela gets dealt, Hill could be next up in the Colorado bullpen.
