Relentless in the Zone: Zach Agnos’ Focused Approach to Year Two ​The 25-year-old right-hander, a 10th-round pick in 2022 out of East Carolina (where he converted from infield to the mound), isn’t aiming for perfection this March in Scottsdale. He’s chasing consistency.

Winning in the Margins: Rockies’ Spring Storylines Emerging in Scottsdale ​Eli Whitney | March 3, 2026Image: Getty Images/Jeremy Chen Scottsdale, AZ — The Rockies wrapped up the Spring Training weekend with a mix of walk-off heroics, explosive offense, and their first round of roster cuts as spring training takes shape. Over four games from Friday through Monday, Colorado’s young core continued to deliver memorable moments, even as the pitching staff showed some growing pains.

“That’s all we talk about — winning in the margins,” Warren Schaeffer said after the game. “That’s it right there. They’re giving us a stolen base; we’re going to take it with Ryan Ritter. Leads to a run, game-winner. Those are things we have to do all year long. 162 [games].”

In his final NPB season, Sugano posted a 1.67 ERA with a miniscule 2.6 BB%.

He pitches more to contact and was hit hard in 2025 but it's worth noting he fell victim to difficult AL East opponents with 4 starts coming against the Yankees (6.19 ERA, 6 HR).

#Rockies have come to terms with FA pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano. The 36 y/o Japanese born pitcher made his MLB debut with Baltimore this past season, posting a 4.64 ERA.

His most utilized pitch is an upper 80s splitter that generated excellent results in 2025 (.251 wOBA ag).
