Kyle Freeland will be Rockies' Opening Day starter

Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland will start in Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

Freeland will officially be the Rockies' Opening Day starter after manager Bud Black picked the left-hander to pitch against the Marlins. Look for the 25-year old to build off a successful 2018 season where he went 17-7 with a 2.85 ERA despite pitching at Coors Field.

For the 2019 regular season, our models project Freeland to produce a 4.05 ERA with 150 strikeouts in 184.5 innings pitched.
