Angel Chivilli

Chivilli got his first taste of the big leagues in 2024, initially skipping the Triple-A level when he first joined the Rockies in May. The 21-year-old right-hander didn't appear in a game during his first stint with Colorado, but made five appearances after his second promotion a month later. Chivilli struggled and was sent back to the minors, but he'd reappear in late-July after the Rockies traded Jalen Beeks and Nick Mears. He'd experience much better results this time around, producing a 50 percent groundball rate thanks to an upper-90's sinker that he featured 42 percent of the time. Chivilli induced plenty of whiffs on his secondary offerings, including a remarkable 55.9 percent clip on his changeup (40% usage) that was second-highest in the league for that pitch type. This didn't translate to many strikeouts, but Chivilli struck out 10.8 batters per nine innings in the minors. He figures to have a role in the Rockies 2025 bullpen. Read Past Outlooks
