Colorado Rockies pitching prospect Carson Palmquist enjoyed a strong bounce-back outing on Thursday evening. After stumbling in his season debut as he allowed three hits and four earned runs across four 1/3 innings of work, Palmquist was able to get in the win column on Thursday. In this outing, Palmquist shut down Triple-A Sugar Land as he logged five innings of one-run ball with a 1:7 BB:K. He allowed just three hits. Last summer, the 24-year-old southpaw spent most of his time with Double-A before earning a late-season taste of Triple-A. With Double-A, Palmquist logged 87 1/3 innings of work and held a strong 3.17 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP. He tallied 113 punchouts in this stint. If Palmquist continues to improve at Triple-A, he should be in the mix for an MLB debut in the second half.

Carson Palmquist Takes Home Player Of The Week Honors
After a dominant performance to open the month of July, Colorado Rockies pitching prospect Carson Palmquist has won the Player of the Week honors in the Eastern League as a member of Double-A Hartford. Palmquist was stellar over seven scoreless innings of one-hit ball, that saw him send down 13 batters via the strikeout with one walk.

He allowed two runs on five hits, adding to his impressive strikeout total. His 74 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings give him the highest strikeout rate in Double-A this season.

While pitching at Coors Field makes for a scary proposition, Palmquist has the tools to be a successful big-league pitcher when he does get the opportunity.
