The Rockies have added catcher Brian Serven to the 60-man player pool, per a team announcement. He’d still need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to be brought onto the active roster.
Serven, 25, was taken in the fifth round of the 2016 draft. He had a rough offensive season in 2019, turning in a .202/.286/.364 slash in 276 Double-A plate appearances. The organization is obviously still holding out hope that his abilities at the plate will catch up to his skill behind it.
Jeff Reed was unavailable.
He must be quite talented behind the dish especially to have been taken in the 5th round because even his college offensive numbers weren’t anything special. He has at times shown average offensive abilities but last year was horrendous. Maybe he’ll pick things up though as his prior season was a lot more promising.
