He struck out 10.","spin":"Marquez settled down after allowing all three runs on eight hits in the first three innings of the contest, firing three scoreless frames -- including an immaculate fourth inning that saw him strike out the side in nine pitches -- to secure his third consecutive quality outing. The 23-year-old righty has now notched six quality starts in his last seven outings, compiling a 4-1 record to go with a 3.15 ERA and 10.8 K/9 over that stretch. Next up will be a difficult road matchup against the Astros.","date":"Wed Aug 8"},"fullName":"German Marquez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Marquez's 4.39 ERA may not look like much, but in Colorado, that was good enough for a 114 ERA+. At 22, he became the youngest Rockies pitcher to throw 150 innings with a better than average ERA in the franchise's young history. What sets Marquez apart is his ability to change speeds, as he features a 95 mph fastball he can contrast with an 81 mph curveball. The curveball is the money pitch, as he used it to end 84 of his 147 strikeouts. It should come as no surprise, then, that Marquez was better away from Coors Field, but the difference was not as big as you might expect -- 4.59 ERA in 80.1 home innings against a 4.19 ERA in 81.2 road innings. Marquez walked just 2.7 batters per nine innings in 2017, and that might just be his most remarkable quality. Other 22-year-olds might have his velocity, but few can pair it with that kind of control. There's no question a healthy Marquez will have a spot in the Rockies' rotation come Opening Day.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Tue Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":2,"playerRater15DAY":4.8,"positionRank":81}
