The Rockies have put a lot of faith in Jon Gray. The RHP prospect was selected 3rd overall back in the 2013 MLB draft and for the most part has lived up to the expectations. He’s a 24-year-old 6’4” 235lb righty that has the build and repertoire to anchor a staff. Through just over 52 innings in 2016, Jon is sporting a healthy 10.49 K/9 with a sparkling 20.2 K-BB% which is good for 8th best in the majors among pitchers with at least 50 IP. This of course comes with the caveat of calling Coors Field as his home ballpark. So while he may look enticing by the numbers, he’ll constantly have to be selectively used in fantasy based on matchups and venues. Gray was given the rock on the road in San Diego this past Sunday where he made the absolute most of his matchup and venue. Here’s the GIF breakdown of Jon Gray’s June 5th outing against the Padres in 10 HD GIFs.
