When Rockies prospect Roldy Brito takes the field Sunday in Philadelphia for the 2026 All-Star Futures Game, it will fulfill a promise he made to himself before the season began.

Brito, a 19-year-old outfielder and second baseman who is the Rockies’ third-ranked prospect and comes in at No. 71 on MLB’s top 100 prospects, is one of just three Low-A prospects playing in the game.

Between last year and this season, Brito has just over 110 games under his belt with Low-A Fresno. During his minor league career, which began in 2024 with Colorado’s Dominican Summer League team, Brito is slashing .328/.403/.464 through his first 836 at-bats.

Those numbers and his athletic ability have generated buzz not only within the Rockies organization but throughout baseball. Put those traits together and it’s easy to see why Brito is one of the chosen few from Low-A and joins Triple-A colleague Charlie Condon as the pair of Rockies selected for the minor league showcase Sunday.

“It feels very good to be one of those three that were able to do so at this kind of level,” Brito said through Rockies interpreter Edwin Perez. “It’s something that you dream of as a kid. As soon as you sign with the team, you want to get the big goals out there. You want to be able to play in important games like this. It’s a goal that I put on myself even before the year started. I told my dad, and that put a goal on myself to be in these big moments and be in a big game like this.

“I think it’s a beautiful opportunity. It’s an opportunity that I’m looking forward to. I’m just very happy that I’m able to go out there and I was selected to play in this game. It’s marvelous.”

Ronny Brito, his father, who played in the minor leagues in the Phillies organization, has been one of the biggest influences on his son as he adjusts to life in professional baseball.

“I think my dad has been the biggest supporter but also keeps me level. He’s like my teacher in a way,” Roldy Brito said. “He’s given me good advice ever since I was a kid, about my game and about when things go wrong. He’s the one who tells me the adjustments that I need to make when I’m going through a bad hitting streak or a bad streak overall in my game.

“He lets me know what’s going wrong, and he’s the one who puts his hand on me and tells me what I need to fix and what needs to go right. He’s the biggest supporter, but also the one who has helped me fix my errors along the way.”

Errors have been short-lived. Brito has had a meteoric rise through the Rockies organization. In March, he was named as the 2025 Doug Million Minor League Player of the Year after being named MVP of the 2025 Arizona Complex League (ACL), an ACL postseason All-Star and a Baseball America Rookie All-Star in his first showing at the ACL level.

Originally signed as a non-drafted international free agent in January 2024, Brito said he was “pushed” into playing shortstop growing up in the Dominican Republic but moved over to second base. Since coming into the Rockies organization, he has also blossomed into a center fielder. Heading into Thursday’s action, Brito had played 45 games in center field for Fresno this season while seeing time at second base in 31 games and serving as the team’s designated hitter three times.

That versatility is something that is a priority for the Rockies and keeps Brito from being a one-dimensional player, he said.

“I was an infielder right before I signed (with the Rockies), but for me, I don’t see pigeonholing myself in one position. I think I can play both positions,” Brito said. “I think I can play outfield well as well as I can play second base. I’m just more than happy to play any position, and I know that I can make adjustments. I need to work on both positions, but I can play both of them very well.”

The All-Star Futures Game appearance is another step into the spotlight for Brito, and it’s a moment he is ready to embrace.

“This year, just being able to grow in the game and continue to rise, it’s something that I don’t take for granted,” Brito said. “I’m thankful to God. I’m thankful to be able to be in this place, but I want to keep it going. I’m not looking just at the past. I want to keep it going. I want to have the courage and continue to have the faith and trust that in myself that I can keep doing these things.

“Trust me, I’m not done.”
