Manfredi’s Fire Start for Rockies | Colorado Rockies News

The Rockies just pulled off a savvy trade, bringing in lefty Mark Manfredi — who’s already making waves with a 1.59 ERA and 13 Ks in under 12 innings. He’s dominating with his fastball and slider, crushing line drives and freezing power hitters like Freddie Freeman. Opponents are batting just .214 against his heater and .125 against his nasty slider — which he can throw in multiple spots to keep batters off-balance. The only hiccup? He’s walking too many guys and hitters aren’t chasing outside the zone much. But with that elite swing-and-miss stuff, if he tightens up his control, he could be a game-changer for Colorado.
