26-year old lefty reliever Matt Reynolds is proving that he belongs in the majors. He has pitched in 59 games (0 starts) for the Rockies so far this year and he is 0-2 with a 3.61 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. He has only given up 34 hits in his first 42 1/3 innings this year while also whiffing 38 batters. He has not been dominating, but he has still been impressive. It looks like the Rockies have found themselves a nice lefty reliever for the future in Matt Reynolds.

24-year old rookie righty starting pitcher Juan Nicasio has been really solid in his first taste of the majors this year for the Rockies. He came into this season as the Rockies’ #8 prospect according to Baseball America. Nicasio has started 10 games for the Rockies so far this year and he is 4-2 with a 3.88 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. He looks like he’s going to be a big part of the Rockies’ future.

31-year old righty reliever Matt Lindstrom is pitching the best baseball of his career in 2011. Lindstrom has pitched in 38 games (0 starts) so far this year for the Rockies and he is 2-1 with 2 saves, a 2.86 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. The reason for Lindstrom pitching so well is that he’s trusting his stuff and his defense as he has only walked 10 batters in his first 34 2/3 innings this year. Lindstrom could wind up closing later this year if the Rockies decide to deal Huston Street or he could get dealt, if the Rockies continue to falter in the standings.

23-year old righty starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin is turning into the ace of the Rockies’ pitching staff. In his four June starts, Chacin is 3-0 with a 1.01 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He has only given 12 hits in 26 2/3 innings so far in June. Chacin has now started 15 games for the Rockies this year and he is 8-4 with a 2.71 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. Chacin has 11 quality starts for the Rockies this year, so he has been consistently very good for them. He has only given up 68 hits in 99 2/3 innings while whiffing 88 batters so far this year, which shows just how nasty he has been. Chacin has walked 40 batters this year and that has gotten him into some trouble at times. If he tightens up his control a little bit, he might start winning some Cy Young Awards.
