Bellozo punched out one and didn’t allow a base on balls in the ballgame. The only blemish on his day came as Matt Chapman pulverized a first pitch cutter for a titanic 460-foot blast in the opening inning. Aside from that, Bellozo was in complete command. He got just three whiffs on 36 pitches on the day, posting an underwhelming CSW of 22 percent. With a strong showing in the spring, he could crack the Rockies’ Opening Day rotation though there’s no reason fantasy managers to be looking here.

Bellozo augments Colorado’s pitching depth entering spring training but history suggests his soft-tossing movement-oriented approach is unlikely to find success at high-octane Coors Field. The 26-year-old projects as a versatile swingman for the Rockies after occupying a similar role for the Marlins over the past two seasons, posting a pedestrian 4.20 ERA – 5.12 xERA – and 98/44 K/BB ratio across 150 innings over 45 appearances (19 starts) during that span. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Bellozo authored one of the strongest starts of his young career against Los Angeles’ certifiable Death Star, which admittedly isn’t operating on full-power mode due to injuries. The 25-year-old righty finished with seven strikeouts and only issued a pair of walks, limiting the Dodgers to just one hit into the sixth inning. He’s not guaranteed another turn in Miami’s rotation, but he’s probably earned it. He’s in line to take the ball on Tuesday against the Cubs and isn’t a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes.

Bellozo is a real throwback type of pitcher, albeit an ineffective one. He didn’t throw a pitch over 92.7 mph in this game – which is high for him – and forced just three swings-and-misses. Instead, he just moved his cutter all around the strike zone and forced as much soft contact as he could against this talented Athletics lineup. That strategy will often force Bellozo to nibble though and he totally lost the zone during the second inning where he walked three batters, hit another, and gave up a RBI single to Nick Kurtz. His limited skill set makes him uninteresting for even the deepest fantasy leagues.

He moves into the roster spot of Luarbert Arias, who was sent down Thursday. Bellozo will start tonight’s game against the A’s and probably remain in the rotation afterwards. He has a 2.25 ERA over eight innings in his two starts for the Marlins this season.
