Zach Agnos Makes MLB Debut With Colorado Rockies
April 21, 2025 | Baseball
DENVER, Colo. – Former East Carolina All-American and current member of the Colorado Rockies organization Zach Agnos made his Major League Baseball debut Sunday evening, pitching a scoreless eighth inning in Colorado's 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals at Coors Field.
Â
He is the first Pirate to earn the call to the Majors since Connor Norby debuted with the Baltimore Orioles back on June 3, 2024.
Â
Before his promotion to the big leagues, Agnos plied his trade with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate Albuquerque Isotopes and compiled a 2.25 earned run average and two saves with 10 strikeouts in 8.0 innings of work. Over four seasons in the minors, Colorado's No. 26 prospect logged a 13-6 record, 1.82 ERA, 142 strikeouts and an astounding 46 saves.
Â
Agnos was one of the Rockies' non-roster invitees to spring training this season. He was selected by Colorado with the 296th pick (10th round) of the 2022 MLB First Year Player Draft.
Â
A two-way star at East Carolina from 2020-22, Agnos earned a pair of All-America Second Team citations by Baseball America and D1Baseball in 2022 and was a Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American in 2021. He garnered several accolades during the 2022 season that saw the Pirates rattle off a school record 20-game winning streak that resulted in the American Athletic Conference regular season and tournament titles, an NCAA Greenville Regional championship and an on-campus Super Regional versus Texas at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Â
Agnos finished his ECU career with a .296 batting average, 101 runs scored, 32 doubles, three triples, 13 home runs and 94 RBI as well as a 3.90 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 27.2 innings pitched.
