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."},"mostRecentNews":{"date":"Fri Oct 5","news":"Marquez will start Game 3 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Sunday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.","spin":"Following Marquez will be Kyle Freeland, who started Tuesday's NL Wild Card Game versus the Cubs.
