Me he sentido muy bien, conforme que lo que he hecho¡±.\n\nEn el 2021, Colom¨¦ tuvo promedio de carreras limpias de 4.15 y 17 juegos salvados por los Mellizos, que declinaron su opci¨®n para este a?o. El derecho no es un gran ponchador--como s¨ª lo son la mayor¨ªa de los taponeros--pero termin¨® en el 86 percentil en porcentaje de swings provocados ante pitcheos fuera de la zona. En otras palabras, Colom¨¦ sabe lanzar no de manera contundente, sino inteligente.\n\n¡°Es un relevista veterano que ha pasado por las batallas¡±, dijo el manager de los Rockies, Bud Black. ¡°Ha pasado la prueba del tiempo con su actuaci¨®n. Ha llegado para fortalecer la parte trasera de nuestro bullpen. As¨ª se ve ¨¦l y as¨ª lo vemos nosotros¡±.\n\nLa meta clara para Colom¨¦, quien encabez¨® las Grandes Ligas en salvamentos con 47 por los Rays en el 2017, es ser cerrador. Pero el diestro tambi¨¦n est¨¢ dispuesto a lo que se necesite en Colorado.\n\n¡°Yo quisiera tener mi mismo rol, como siempre¡±, dijo Colom¨¦, refiri¨¦ndose al papel de taponero. ¡°Me siento m¨¢s conforme cerrando, o tirando el octavo. Pero ¨¦ste es un trabajo como todos. Si me dan la oportunidad, dondequiera que ellos me pongan, yo voy a hacer mi trabajo¡±.\n\nY trat¨¢ndose del Coors Field, casa de los Rockies¡ªdonde Colom¨¦ ha lanzado una sola vez entre sus 393 presentaciones en nueve campa?as de Grandes Ligas¡ªsu tendencia de provocar m¨¢s roletazos que elevados podr¨ªa ser de gran ayuda en plenas Monta?as Rocosas de Denver.\n\n¡°Cuando llegue el D¨ªa Inaugural, vamos a tener a alguien designado en mi mente como el que va a lanzar el noveno inning¡±, expres¨® Black. ¡°Dicho eso, tambi¨¦n sabemos de la importancia para el grupo del papel que necesite cumplirse en una noche en particular. Tenemos los muchachos que pueden hacerlo.

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona -- Dependiendo principalmente de una recta de cuatro costuras y una recta cortada que no pasan mucho de las 95.0 millas por hora, Alexander Colom¨¦ ha sabido aprovechar su control y una gran tendencia de provocar rodados¡ªuna tasa del 54.1% en el 2021, seg¨²n Statcast¡ªpara salvar un total de 155 juegos en las ¨²ltimas seis temporadas.
Ahora, el veterano dominicano busca estabilizar el puesto de cerrador de los Rockies, equipo que lo firm¨® por un a?y US$4.15 millones de cara a los entrenamientos de primavera. Prepar¨¢ndose en su casa en San Pedro de Macor¨ªs durante el cierre de 99 d¨ªas, Colom¨¦ lleg¨® a Arizona este mes listo para competir con su compatriota Carlos Est¨¦vez y Daniel Bard por la responsabilidad de la novena entrada.
¡°Sab¨ªamos eso, que cuando se arreglara el (desacuerdo) entre (MLB) y la Asociaci¨®n (de Jugadores), ¨ªbamos a empezar r¨¢pido¡±, dijo Colom¨¦ acerca de su mentalidad durante la prolongada temporada muerta. ¡°Trat¨¦ de mantenerme entrenando en Dominicana, tratando de mantener mi cuerpo sano¡±.
?Estamos a 12 d¨ªas del D¨ªa Inaugural en el Coors Field!@germanmarquez5 quiere saber si estar¨¢s all¨¢. ?
El domingo, en su debut de pretemporada con Colorado, Colom¨¦ lleg¨® a las 95 mph con su recta, lanzando una entrada limpia contra los Diamondbacks con dos ponches y demostrando un brazo en salud.
¡°Hasta ahora me lo siento bien sano¡±, dijo Colom¨¦. ¡°Esperemos seguir as¨ª. Me he sentido muy bien, conforme que lo que he hecho¡±.
En el 2021, Colom¨¦ tuvo promedio de carreras limpias de 4.15 y 17 juegos salvados por los Mellizos, que declinaron su opci¨®n para este a?o. El derecho no es un gran ponchador--como s¨ª lo son la mayor¨ªa de los taponeros--pero termin¨® en el 86 percentil en porcentaje de swings provocados ante pitcheos fuera de la zona. En otras palabras, Colom¨¦ sabe lanzar no de manera contundente, sino inteligente.
¡°Es un relevista veterano que ha pasado por las batallas¡±, dijo el manager de los Rockies, Bud Black. ¡°Ha pasado la prueba del tiempo con su actuaci¨®n. Ha llegado para fortalecer la parte trasera de nuestro bullpen. As¨ª se ve ¨¦l y as¨ª lo vemos nosotros¡±.
La meta clara para Colom¨¦, quien encabez¨® las Grandes Ligas en salvamentos con 47 por los Rays en el 2017, es ser cerrador. Pero el diestro tambi¨¦n est¨¢ dispuesto a lo que se necesite en Colorado.
¡°Yo quisiera tener mi mismo rol, como siempre¡±, dijo Colom¨¦, refiri¨¦ndose al papel de taponero. ¡°Me siento m¨¢s conforme cerrando, o tirando el octavo. Pero ¨¦ste es un trabajo como todos. Si me dan la oportunidad, dondequiera que ellos me pongan, yo voy a hacer mi trabajo¡±.
Y trat¨¢ndose del Coors Field, casa de los Rockies¡ªdonde Colom¨¦ ha lanzado una sola vez entre sus 393 presentaciones en nueve campa?as de Grandes Ligas¡ªsu tendencia de provocar m¨¢s roletazos que elevados podr¨ªa ser de gran ayuda en plenas Monta?as Rocosas de Denver.
¡°Cuando llegue el D¨ªa Inaugural, vamos a tener a alguien designado en mi mente como el que va a lanzar el noveno inning¡±, expres¨® Black. ¡°Dicho eso, tambi¨¦n sabemos de la importancia para el grupo del papel que necesite cumplirse en una noche en particular. Tenemos los muchachos que pueden hacerlo. Se necesita a todos¡±.
