Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies had a challenging season last year, finishing with the worst record in the National League at 59-103. Despite not making significant offseason changes, they are relying on improved performance from returning players to climb out of the basement. The 2024 season began on a rough note as they suffered a 15-run loss to the Diamondbacks with pitcher Kyle Freeland struggling on the mound. Key players to watch include Ryan McMahon, who led the team in home runs last season and had a strong performance in the season opener, as well as Nolan Jones and Ezequiel Tovar who have shown promise. The Rockies ranked 18th in scoring last season but face defensive challenges, ranking 26th in allowing points against them. Austin Gombar will look to lead the pitching staff after finishing with nine wins last season. Heading into the new season, the Rockies are ranked 25th in power rankings and are off to a 0-1 start.
