Player Outlook
Charlie Condon put up cartoonish numbers as a junior at Georgia (1.565 OPS, 37 HR in 60 games), sandwiched in between lackluster showings in the Cape Cod League in 2023 (.648 OPS in 11 games) and the Northwest League last year after signing (.518 OPS, 34:4 K:BB in 25 games). There's zero evidence he can produce with a wood bat or without the comforts of the SEC, where small parks combine with allegedly juiced bats, juiced balls and electronic forms of cheating to concoct preposterous stat lines that carry less and less weight each year. Defensively, Condon is more athletic and versatile than the pure first basemen in the class, but he's still likely to end up in left field. There was a strong statistical case for Condon to be the top 2024 draftee selected in first-year player drafts prior to his debut, but now he should be treated like a pure upside flyer with an accepted potential outcome of total bust. He's not a worthwhile use of a late pick in 2025 leagues.

  • Rockies' Charlie Condon: Suffers fractured wrist

    Condon was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist Friday, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports. Condon suffered the injury Thursday while making a diving attempt to catch a ball in the outfield. He will not need to undergo surgery, which will keep his recovery relatively short, but it will still be roughly six weeks before he's cleared to begin baseball activities. The 21-year-old outfielder slashed .180/.248/.270 with one home run and 12 RBI across 109 plate appearances at High-A Spokane upon beginning his professional career last season, and he'll likely return to Spokane once his wrist heals.

  • Rockies' Charlie Condon: Making pro debut at High-A

    The Rockies assigned Condon to High-A Spokane on Tuesday. Condon is arguably the top player from the 2024 First-Year Player Draft for dynasty leagues, and he will be making his professional debut in the Midwest League. Spokane has a hitter-friendly home park, and the caliber of pitching at High-A at this point in the season is pretty poor, so Condon could put up monster numbers for as long as he remains with Spokane. A promotion to Double-A Hartford before season's end isn't out of the question.
