Colorado Rockies prospect Charlie Condon experiences recent offensive downturn

Colorado Rockies prospect Charlie Condon has seen his production decrease significantly over the past two months in Triple-A. After posting a 1.276 OPS during a breakout month of June, the 2024 third-overall draft pick saw his OPS fall to.758 in July and.695 in August. Condon has not hit a home run since August 6. Analysis shows that opposing pitchers have adjusted by reducing the number of pitches offered within the strike zone, particularly with two-strike counts. While Condon maintained his improved launch angles and contact quality, his chase rate rose from 15.0% in June to 24.5% in August as he encountered fewer hittable pitches. Despite the recent slump, Condon maintains a 113 wRC+ for the season with career highs in home runs, slugging percentage, and total at-bats.
