As of this writing, Charlie Blackmon has been with the Colorado Rockies for thirteen seasons, and in the late 2010s, he was one of the best players in the game..  

Playing in the Outfield, Blackmon would have his first All-Star season in 2014, which was the first year that he was a regular starter.  Blackmon would increase his power numbers, and in 2016, he would belt 29 Home Runs with a  .324 Batting Average and a Silver Slugger Award.  As good as that was, Blackmon built on that to become the Rockies; top star over the last three seasons.  In those years, he went to the All-Star Game, had at least 29 Home Runs and had two .300 years.  His best season to date was in 207, where he finished first in the National League in Runs Scored (137), Hits (213), Triples (14), and won the Batting Title (.331).  Blackmon would also have an even 1.000 OPS, and finished fifth in MVP voting.

Blackmon has been in decline since 2020, but is still with Colorado, and can climb in the all-time standing on this list and team stats.  Going into 2024, Blackmon has 1,690 Hits, 215 Home Runs, 749 RBI and a .296 Batting Average.
