These top Rox prospects put on a seismic show at Triple-A

A couple of future Rockies delivered on their bombastic potential on Sunday.
Charlie Condon and Cole Carrigg teamed up for six hits and seven RBIs in Triple-A Albuquerque's 19-12 extra-inning win over El Paso at Southwest University Park. In perhaps typical Pacific Coast League fashion, the Isotopes broke out for 10 runs in the top of the 10th inning.
Condon, MLB's No. 64 prospect, went 3-for-5 with his fourth homer of the season coming in the 10th-inning cakewalk. The 2024 third overall pick smashed the first pitch -- an inside fastball -- from Padres lefty Miguel Cienfuegos 413 feet to center field with an exit velocity of 101 mph.
"This is nice," Condon said in late March. "I've heard a lot about Albuquerque and the Isotopes, and really the whole PCL. I've heard more of a hitter-friendly league with altitude and things like that."
The Georgia product also singled in the second -- before being thrown out at second on a stolen-base attempt -- and doubled in the seventh. The Rockies' second-ranked prospect finished a triple short of the cycle while also tallying two runs and a walk in his second three-hit game of the season.

Colorado's No. 6 prospect Carrigg also notched a season-high three hits. The switch-hitting shortstop swatted his first homer at Triple-A with an exit velocity of 110.1 mph. Carrigg sent a middle-of-the-zone sinker from righty Sean Boyle 438 feet over the center-field wall.
The 65th overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft singled on the first pitch of the contest. The 60-grade runner then swiped second base, his ninth stolen bag of the season. After tripling with the bases loaded in the second, he got plunked twice -- once in the fourth and again in the 10th -- and stole his second base of the game after the first one.
"He's getting better," Rockies general manager Josh Byrnes said in March. "He and I talked quite a bit early in the spring ... but he's learning to mature as a hitter and swing at the right pitches."
Condon and Carrigg drew attention from Rockies brass during big league Spring Training, and they now stand as the top potential offensive reinforcements to a hitter-friendly environment a mile high at Coors Field.
