Following the season's end, he traveled to San Diego where he participated in the Draft Combine.[9]

Professional career

Palmquist was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the third round with the 88th overall selection of the 2022 Major League Baseball draft.[10] He signed with the team for $775,000.[11] He made his professional debut with the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League Rockies, pitching a total of one inning for the season.[12]

To open the 2023 season, Palmquist was assigned to the Spokane Indians of the High-A Northwest League.[13] In mid-August, he was promoted to the Hartford Yard Goats of the Double-A Eastern League.[14] Over 19 starts between the two teams, he went 7-4 with a 3.90 ERA and 134 strikeouts over innings.[15] Palmquist was assigned to Hartford to open the 2024 season.[16]
