Already ranked among the organization’s top prospects, he dominated in 2024 with 17 saves at Double-A Hartford, earned a Futures Game nod, and even pitched in the Arizona Fall League. Standing just 6-foot and 166 pounds, Herrera makes up for his size with a polished three-pitch arsenal and a delivery that keeps hitters off balance. His fastball is nearly unhittable, and his slider gets whiffs — he’s even developing a changeup to better handle right-handed batters. With Triple-A Albuquerque looming — a hitter’s park — his ground-ball tendencies could be the key to success. Expected to join the 40-man roster this offseason, Herrera could be in the Rockies’ bullpen by 2026. A minor elbow issue sidelined him briefly, but he’s already been called up — proof of his elite potential. Keep an eye on this rising star.
