Career highlights and awards

Germán Andres Márquez (born February 22, 1995) is a Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher for the Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2016. Márquez won a Silver Slugger Award in 2018 and was an All-Star in 2021.

Career

[edit]

Tampa Bay Rays

[edit]

Márquez signed with the Tampa Bay Rays as an international free agent in July 2011 with a $225,000 signing bonus.[1] He steadily advanced through the team's minor league system over the next five years. He pitched for the Venezuela Summer League Rays in 2012, with a rocky 6.82 earned run average (ERA) in 34+1⁄3 innings. He made his American debut the following year with the Rookie-league Princeton Rays. In 2014, he pitched for the Single-A Bowling Green Hot Rods, and in 2015, he moved up a level to the Class A-Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs. In the Rays system, Márquez pitched primarily as a starter, with a 14–27 record, 3.88 ERA, and 266 strikeouts in 324+2⁄3 innings.[2]

The Rays added him to their 40-man roster after the 2015 season to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. He was ranked as the Rays' 25th best prospect by MLB.com.[3]

Colorado Rockies

[edit]

2016: Trade and MLB debut

[edit]

On January 28, 2016, the Marlins traded Márquez and reliever Jake McGee to the Colorado Rockies for outfielder Corey Dickerson and infield prospect Kevin Padlo.[4]

Márquez started 2016 with the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats and was promoted to the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes in early August. With both minor league clubs in 2016, he had an 11–6 record and 3.13 ERA with 155 strikeouts in 166+2⁄3 innings.[2]

The Rockies promoted Márquez to the major leagues for the first time on September 6, 2016.[5] After three relief appearances, he won his first MLB start, allowing one run in five innings in an 11–1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. That was the highlight of a rocky first month in the majors. In total, he had with a 5.23 ERA in six games, three of them starts, with 15 strikeouts in 20+2⁄3 innings.[6]

2017–2018: Rookie of the Year votes and postseason debut

[edit]

Márquez entered 2017 ranked as one of the top 75 prospects by MLB.com, Baseball America, and FanGraphs.[2][7] In his first full MLB season, Márquez had a 11–7 record with a 4.39 ERA in 162 innings pitched across 29 starts. He had a 1.38 WHIP and 147 strikeouts. He threw in the strike zone more frequently than any other major league pitcher.[8] He finished fifth in the National League Rookie of the Year voting.[9] He was left off the Rockies Wild Card Game roster,[10] after having started the second-to-last game of the regular season.[11]

On July 11, 2018, Márquez hit his first career home run off second baseman and former teammate Daniel Descalso in a blowout 19–2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Márquez became the first pitcher to hit a home run off a position player since Mike LaCoss in 1986.[12] On August 8, he threw an immaculate inning, striking out three Pittsburgh Pirates batters on three pitches each.[13] On September 26, Márquez tied the modern-day MLB record by striking out the first eight batters of a game against the Philadelphia Phillies, before pitcher Nick Pivetta reached base on an error on a 0–2 pitch.[14]

Márquez had a dominant second half of 2018 after adding a slider to his pitch repertoire. He finished with a 14–11 record and 3.77 ERA. He had a quality start in 20 of his 33 starts and 230 strikeouts, fourth most in the NL, in 196 innings.[15] He broke the franchise record for strikeouts in one season, previously set by Ubaldo Jiménez in 2010. Márquez's 10.56 strikeouts per 9 innings was a new Rockies record and fourth-most in the NL.[16][17] Márquez also had a phenomenal season at the plate for a pitcher, hitting .300 with a home run, 5 RBIs, and a .650 on-base plus slugging. He won the Silver Slugger Award, the first Rockies pitcher to win the award since Mike Hampton in 2002. Marquez's performance, along with fellow second-year starter Kyle Freeland, helped the Rockies reach the postseason in back-to-back years for the first time in franchise history.

Márquez started the NL West tie-breaker game, picking up loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers after allowing two-run home runs to Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy in 4+2⁄3 innings.[18] He pitched once in the playoffs, picking up the loss in the Rockies' season-ending 6–0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the National League Division Series. He pitched serviceably, allowing two runs and striking out five in five innings.[19]

2019–2022: extension and rotation regular

[edit]

On April 6, 2019, the Rockies and Márquez agreed to a five-year $43 million contract extension.[20] On April 14, 2019, Márquez threw the first one-hit shutout in Rockies franchise history in a 4–0 win, yielding only a single to Evan Longoria in the 8th inning.[21] In 2019, he started 28 games, winning 12, and had a 4.76 ERA before being placed on the injured list with right arm inflammation on August 26. He led the NL with 14 wild pitches.[15] Though his ERA was a full run higher than in 2018, Marquez generally maintained his effectiveness from 2018. Additionally, Marquez's ERA was hampered by 3 games where he was not taken out despite struggling badly; the last of which was a home game on July 15 where he gave up a career-worst 11 earned runs in only 22⁄3 innings to the San Francisco Giants before he was removed.

Márquez made his first Opening Day start in July 2020.[22] In the shortened 2020 season, Márquez went 4–6 with a 3.75 ERA in 13 starts. He led the National League with 81+2⁄3 innings pitched.[15] On defense, he led all major league pitchers with three errors and had a .750 fielding percentage, the worst among qualified pitchers.[23][24]

Márquez made his second Opening Day start in 2021.[25] On June 29, he took a no-hit bid into the 9th inning against Pittsburgh, but a leadoff single by Ka'ai Tom broke it up. Márquez finished the game with his second career one-hit shutout and first Maddux.[26][27] He was named to his first All-Star team, the Rockies' sole representative.[28] He pitched a scoreless fourth inning in the game at Coors Field. Márquez hit his second career MLB home run on July 31, against Yu Darvish of the San Diego Padres.[29][30]

Márquez finished the 2021 season with a 12–11 record, 4.40 ERA, and 176 strikeouts over 180 innings in 32 starts. He led the major leagues with 15 wild pitches. He was a finalist for the Silver Slugger Award, losing out to Max Fried.[31]

In 2022, Márquez was 9–13 with a 4.95 ERA and 150 strikeouts in 181+2⁄3 innings, his most since 2018.[15] Hitters had a .467 slugging percentage against Márquez, the ninth highest among MLB qualified pitchers.[32]

2023–2024: slowed by injuries

[edit]

In 2023, Márquez again started for the Rockies on Opening Day.[33] He made 4 starts for Colorado, registering a 2–2 record and 4.95 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 20 innings pitched. On May 2, 2023, it was revealed that Márquez would require Tommy John surgery, ending his season.[34] On September 8, Márquez and the Rockies agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $20 million. The extension lasted through the end of the 2025 season and bought out the final year of his previous extension.[35]

On July 14, 2024, Márquez was activated from the injured list to make his return from surgery.[36] He made only one start, allowing 3 runs in four innings against the New York Mets.[37] In that start, he broke the Rockies' franchise strikeout record, passing Jorge de la Rosa.[38] On August 8, manager Bud Black announced that Márquez would miss the remainder of the season after suffering a stress reaction in his elbow.[39][40]

Personal life

[edit]

Márquez and his wife Dilvanny married in 2019.[41] They have a son named Damien, born in 2018.[42] His wife and son first saw him pitch in the United States in 2021, due to visa issues.[41] Márquez's parents are Germán Márquez and Oniela Rojas. He has an older sister, Hendyma, and a younger brother, Geremia.[42]
