This Week in Purple: Around The World (Series)

As the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Devil Rays compete in the World Series, several Colorado Rockies players are continuing their development in autumn and winter leagues. In the Arizona Fall League, 25-year-old undrafted catcher and infielder Jack O’Dowd has emerged as a standout for the Salt River Rafters after advancing from independent ball to Double-A Hartford in 2026.

Several other Rockies farmhands are active internationally across winter leagues in Mexico, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic. Prospects Roynier Hernanzes, Bryant Betancourt, and Roldy Brito are participating, alongside Triple-A players Drew Avans and Patrick Weigel. Veteran left-handed pitcher José Quintana is also pitching in the Dominican Winter League to rehab from an elbow injury.
