Rockies Draft Bell, Build for Future | Colorado Rockies News

The Rockies stunned the draft with their 10th overall pick: switch-hitting shortstop Tyler Bell, a top prospect who turned down Tampa Bay for college at Kentucky. Despite a shoulder injury requiring surgery, Bell’s power potential and defensive versatility make him a cornerstone for Rockies’ future under new GM Paul DePodesta. Meanwhile, UCLA’s Roch Cholowsky, the top overall pick, went to the White Sox in a moment that had fans on their feet. The Rockies still have more picks to shape their next generation of stars.
