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.
44. Ezequiel Tovar
In the last few seasons, the Colorado Rockies have not had much to celebrate, but Ezequiel Tovar, the young Shortstop from Venezuela has given the fanbase nothing to worry about in the infield’s most demanding position.
Signed as a teenage free agent in 2017, Tovar made his MLB debut in late 2022, and was the Rockies starting Shortstop the following season. Tovar had 143 Hits with 15 Home Runs, but elevated last season to 176 Hits, 26 Home Runs and a .763 OPS. He also led the National League in At Bats (655) and Doubles (45), and won a Gold Glove.
As Tovar is under 25, there is a lot of promise, especially if he can elevate his OBP.
