Rockies Draft Tyler Putnam | Colorado Rockies News

The Rockies surprise everyone by drafting 6-foot-6 pitching phenom Tyler Putnam in the fifth round—pick 136—out of Battle High School in Missouri, where he dominated with a 1.38 ERA and 81 strikeouts while also hitting 12 homers. He’s the fourth Vols commit to be drafted this cycle, joining high picks like Grindlinger and Condon. With his dual-threat game and massive upside, the Rockies are betting big on him skipping college for the majors. His family’s moment of glory? Just the beginning.
