Sam Weatherly

Sam Weatherly was a third round pick (#81 overall) of the Colorado Rockies in 2020 and signed for $755,300 on June 24, 2020.

Due to the pandemic there was no minor league baseball in 2020, but Weatherly spent 2021 at Low A Fresno, where he started 15 games, went 4-6 with a 4.83 ERA, but gave up only 59 hits and struck out 96 in 69 innings.

Weatherly is highly thought of in the Rockies organization as you may imagine for a third round pick, but was shut down last August due to shoulder inflammation and has not pitched in 2022.
