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.

17. Ryan McMahon
Ryan McMahon is as of this writing still with the Colorado Rockies, which is the only team he has ever played for at the Major League level.
A Second Round Pick in 2013, McMahon debuted for Colorado in 2017. Bouncing back and forth from the parent club and Triple A in 2017 and 2018, McMahon became the Rockies’ starting Second Baseman in 2019, belting 24 Home Runs with 83 RBI and a .779 OPS.
After 2020, McMahon was moved to Third Base in 2021, and he responded by leading the National League in Defensive bWAR (2.6) and offensively had 23 Home Runs with a .779 OPS. In 2022, McMahon had his third 20 HR year, and added another the last two seasons, though has still yet to bat over .260. He will stedily climb this ladder, though not break to the upper tier at this rate.
