Our All Time Top 50 Colorado Rockies have been revised to reflect the 2024 Season.
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Colorado Rockies.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Rockies had an awful year, winning only 61 Games. The year did see two new entrants based on last season, and one return based on the new algorithm.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes
1. Todd Helton
2. Larry Walker
You can find the entire list here.
Pitcher Kyle Freeland moved up one spot to #13.
Infielder Ryan McMahon advanced to #17 from #25.
Pitcher Antonio Senzatela, who was inactive most of the year due to injury, held his spot at #42.
Shortstop and last year’s Gold Glove winner, Ezequiel Tovar, debuts at #44.
Second Baseman, and current free agent, Brendan Rodgers enters at #46.
Pitcher Jerry Dipoto makes his return to the list based on the new algorithm.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

42. Antonio Senzatela
From Venezuela, Antonio Senzatela signed with the Colorado Rockies as an amateur Free Agent in 2011, and he would make the Rockies roster in 2017, pitching in 36 Games and posting a 10-5 record with 102 Strikeouts.
Senzatela bounced from the starting rotation to the bullpen in 2018, and while he was a permanent starter in 2019, with an 11-11 record, his 6.71 ERA and 1.748 WHIP were abysmal. In the COVID-ravaged 2020 season, Senzatela led the Rockies in bWAR (2.8) and went 5-3, though he regressed in 2021, and his 2022 was not special, though that was better tha 2023, where he only played two games and underwent Tommy John Surgery.
Still with the Rockies and in his 20’s, Senzatela could make significant jumps if he repeats his 2020 performance in a full season, but he will have to be healthy to do it.
