Spring Breakout Game tomorrow. It is nice of mlb to try to market prospects, but it's not exactly an exciting event.

Scoreboard
Colorado Rockies 6, Cleveland Guardians 4 (Statcast)
Reserves
Johnathan Rodriguez (RF): 1-1 - A 92 MPH single off Luis Peralta was Rodriguez’s only AB and item of note here. He’s getting fewer starts later in camp, so we’re seeing him relegated to Triple-A here sooner than later.
Micah Pries (1B): 1-1, R - Pries also singled off Peralta, a 105.9 MPH at that. He has hit the ball hard this spring, for what it’s worth. But I have seen promise in Pries before but it hasn’t really paid off. This year might be his last chance.
Tommy Hawke (CF): 1-1 - Peralta was the victim of this single, a lefty with 15 MLB games, so not tons of experience, but MUCH more than Hawke. This single was 97.7, which is actually nice to see since Hawke doesn’t offer much, if any, in the way of power. It was at a very poor launch angle (-3), not a shock since Hawke’s game is slash-and-dash anyway.
Dom Nunez (C): 1-1, HR, 2 RBI - This was the big blow off Peralta. Nunez will likely backup Huff or be in a timeshare at Triple-A this year.
Yordys Valdes (SS): 0-2 - Valdes has gotten a lot of run as a backup for defense. He hit some balls hard early in camp but his M.O. offensively is streaky at best.
Milan Tolentino (2B): 0-1, K - Tolentino is in major league camp as an NRI so not shocked at how much run he’s had but he’s probably ticketed for Double-A again.
Christian Knapczyk (3B): 0-1, K - Interesting to see Knapcyzk to get some run as a backup but nothing doing here. He’s ticketed for an infield spot at Lake County.
Esteban Gonzalez (LF): 0-1, K - I liked Gonzalez in Low-A last year but his game didn’t translate as well at High-A.
