Rockies’ No. 17 prospect Eaton a quick study in Arizona Fall League

Colorado Rockies No. 17 prospect Konner Eaton is delivering strong performances for the Salt River Rafters in the Arizona Fall League. Across five appearances and nine innings, the left-handed pitcher has allowed zero earned runs while striking out six batters and issuing two walks. Eaton, a 2024 sixth-round draft pick, entered the league aiming to refine his pitch repertoire and command.

Eaton spent the regular Minor League season with Double-A Hartford, posting a 5-3 record with a 4.46 ERA in 23 starts. Rockies director of pitching Matt Daniels and coach Jerry Sullivan noted adjustments to Eaton's routine, changeup grip, and slider to enhance strike-zone command. Eaton hopes to make his Major League debut in 2027.
