Condon's MLB debut is not imminent, despite a strong spring training, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Condon is hitting .419 with three home runs in 16 games this spring, but he is not on the 40-man roster and only played 55 games at Double-A last year and zero games at Triple-A. Additionally, 25-year-old T.J. Rumfield is having an even better camp, with four home runs, five walks and one strikeout in 14 games, and 28-year-old Troy Johnston is also hitting .333 with a .419 OBP in 15 games. If Condon goes to Triple-A and produces up to his recent standards in the Arizona Fall League (.873 OPS) and in spring training, he'll get the call sometime this summer.

Rockies' Charlie Condon: Hitting well to start spring
Rotowire
Condon has gone 6-for-10 with two home runs and four RBI across six Cactus League appearances.
It's a small sample, but Condon has had an impressive start to spring training. He popped a home run to the opposite field Thursday and now has only two strikeouts across his first 12 plate appearances. Condon is in the mix for a roster spot at first base, though he'll likely start the season in the upper minors.

Rockies' Charlie Condon: Starts in right field
Rotowire
Condon started in right field and went 2-for-3 with two runs scored in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.
Condon has worked primarily at first base throughout the spring, but the Rockies have several different options at the position. That has caused the team to try to give him multiple different paths to the majors, though he has yet to play in right field in a regular-season game as a pro. Condon also got off to a strong start to the exhibition season with his bat, but he looks likely to return to the minors to begin the 2026 campaign.
Rockies' Charlie Condon: Receives spring invitation
Rotowire
The Rockies have extended Condon an invitation to big-league camp during spring training.
The departure of Warming Bernabel and Michael Toglia this offseason opened the door for playing time at first base in Colorado, and Condon -- one of the Rockies' top prospects -- will officially have a chance to show off his talents for the big club this spring. The 22-year-old slashed .268/.376/.444 with 14 homers, 58 RBI and 59 runs scored across 99 minor-league contests last year between rookie ball, High-A and Double-A. Despite his lack of experience in the higher levels of the minors, a strong showing in the Cactus League could land him a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster.
Condon could get the chance to compete for the Rockies' everyday first base job during spring training, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
After moving both Warming Bernabel and Michael Toglia off the 40-man roster during the offseason, the Rockies are now without both of their primary options at first base from 2025. Blaine Crim and waiver pickup Troy Johnston reached the majors for the first time in 2025 and could operate in a platoon at first base, but both players are on their second organizations and are entering their age-29 campaigns, making it unlikely that they're viewed as anything more than stopgaps at the position. Barring any outside additions, Condon -- one of the organization's top prospects -- thus appears likely to get his first look in the big leagues at some point in 2026, and it's not out of the question for him to force his way onto the Opening Day roster with a strong showing in spring training. The 22-year-old slashed .266/.379/.447 with 14 home runs and a 12.6 percent walk rate in 90 games last season between High-A Spokane and Double-A Hartford and continued to thrive in the Arizona Fall League, where he posted an .873 OPS in 22 games.
Rockies' Charlie Condon: Hitting for power at Double-A
Rotowire
Condon is slashing .239/.345/.484 with 11 home runs, one steal and a 29.1 percent strikeout rate in 52 games for Double-A Hartford.
Condon, who was recently selected to play in the Arizona Fall League, has delivered on his power potential since getting promoted from High-A Spokane on July 1, but Condon's strikeouts and lack of speed portend a three-category player in fantasy. Most of the other top college hitters in his class have ascended to Triple-A or the big leagues, so the Rockies may end up regretting taking Condon third overall in what's looking like a loaded 2024 draft class. He has made 45 starts at first base and two starts at third base since getting to Double-A.
