Colorado Rockies prospect rankings, mid-season 2026: Top 30 summary

Shortstop Ethan Holliday, Colorado's first-round pick in 2025 , received 15 of the 29 qualifying ballot first place votes to lead the group this time around. That bested pre-season top PuRP and 2024 first-round pick Charlie Condon, who got 10 first place votes, as well as Roldy Brito, Tyler Bell ( this year's first rounder ), and Cristian Arguelles — who all received at least one first place vote and rounded out the top five.

As a reminder, 30 points were granted for a first place vote, 29 for second, etc. Until a player was named on ten ballots, his vote totals were modified on a sliding scale to avoid an individual ballot having too much say over the community forecast — though that wasn't a factor this time around in the top 30. There were no ties in the top 30 this time, though other ties were broken for non top-30 players according to voting rules.

For more info on voting numbers for players that didn't quite make the top 30, please check out the intro post to this edition of the PuRPs list , two articles' worth of multi-ballot players ( Part I and Part II ) as well as the write-ups of the honorable mention PuRPs .
