Charlie Condon, the Rockies' No. 2 prospect and a potential future first baseman, is aiming to make his major league debut this season after being part of the star-studded 2024 MLB Draft class. Condon, the third overall pick in 2024, has faced early challenges in the minors due to injuries but is now healthy and determined to show what he can do at the big-league level.

Why it matters

The 2024 MLB Draft class has already produced several standout players who have made their mark in the majors, putting pressure on Condon to live up to the hype. As one of the top prospects in the Rockies' system, Condon's development and potential debut could have a significant impact on the team's future.

In 2025, he broke his right wrist in his first minor league spring training game and missed the first four months of the season, but he eventually made his Double-A debut with the Hartford Yard Goats in July, hitting .235 with 11 home runs in 35 games.

What they’re saying

“I think about that a lot. But it's not what I'm worried about, it's not what I'm playing for. I'm trying to play the best baseball I can. But every guy in this locker room, and the guys in the (minor league) locker down the hallway, wants to get to Denver and help the Rockies win up there.”

“My first quarter of pro ball wasn't what I wanted or what anyone thought it would be. And then I was really excited last year at this time, to show up and show the true version of myself. I felt really good and then the broken wrist happened.”

— Charlie Condon (Denver Post)

“It's way easier to speak about it that way now, in hindsight. There was definitely that first week after I broke my wrist where I wasn't in the best spot mentally. I was upset about what happened, and I wished I could go back and change it. But there was obviously no way to do that.”
