Right-handed Jeff Chriswell According to the Rockies’ announcement, Tommy John’s surgery will be performed. Chriswell will miss the entire 2025 season, and the timing of injury has also made his 2026 season begin at least.
Criswell, 26, made his debut in the Rockies last season next week. Criswell’s second round draft at the 2020 draft Chad Smith Go to Auckland. At the time, Criswell was a starting pitcher, but the right-hander was in triple-A with the Rockies in his first season and was hit 7.51 ERA in 121 innings. This led to the Rockies moving him to a 2024 bullpen, which mixed together but largely positive.
Criswell’s highest production figures at Triple-A last year are still not impressive, even after he moved to the bullpen. He surrendered 6.24 ERA in his 57 2/3 innings with the club’s Albuquerque membership, but his appearance under the hood showed a 30% strikeout rate, while walking at 10.1%, but impossible 10.1%. This translates to a large extent to his work in the professional 19 2/3 innings with only better results. Last year, at major league level, Criswell played 31% of his opponents on foot 10.3%, giving him a 2.75 ERA in 13 games.
Last year, the biggest Bugaboo for right-handers was a Grand Slam and a minor, both home runs. Criswell allowed more than every nine innings in the minor league last year, and even at Colorado, he surrendered four home runs on the aforementioned 19 2/3-frame work. The 23.5% home run to fly ratio may be unsustainable and may lead to a positive return in the future, but the nature of the massive 12% barrel rate that makes Criswell more home runs may be a matter of performance rather than a purely luck-based issue.
Even with these question marks, it seems likely that Chriswell will work in the Rockies’ bullpen this year, especially after they decided to place right-handed Justin Lawrence Give up yesterday. However, those plans are now weakened, and Chriswell will return to action sometime during the 2026 campaign and hopes to leave where he left in 2024 in 2024. Meanwhile, the club will have to turn to other options in the bullpen Angel Chiveli,,,,, Luis Peraltaand Jack Bird.
