He struck out six.","spin":"Marquez threw first-pitch strikes to 16 of 22 batters and induced 12 swinging strikes as he notched a season high in punchouts. He faded just a bit, allowing a run in both the fifth and sixth innings, but he still delivered a quality start and earned his first win as the bullpen held the lead. Marquez was shelled in his second start of the season, but he's posted a 1.28 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP over his other three outings. He'll look to build on this performance Sunday against the Cubs.","date":"Mon Apr 16"},"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":0.4,"playerRater15DAY":0.3,"positionRank":82}
