"Dollander's win over the Mets came at Citi Field. It was his fifth appearance on the road this season, compared to just two games at Coors Field. The young righty has been able to tame the hitter-friendly venue so far."
"Dollander has taken a step forward in multiple areas in his second attempt as a big leaguer. He's added a tick to his fastball, which was already extremely hard for a starter."
"Keeping the ball on the ground while getting ample whiffs is a great recipe for success. Dollander's four-seamer is sitting at 99 mph this year, ranking fourth among all pitchers."
Chase Dollander pitched seven scoreless innings against the Mets, earning a win and reducing his April ERA to 1.29. He has recorded 34 strikeouts in 28 innings this month. This was his first traditional start after beginning the season in the bullpen. Dollander has performed well on the road, despite struggles at home. Drafted ninth overall in 2023, he is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the Rockies system. His fastball velocity has increased, contributing to a high groundball rate and swinging-strike rate.
