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

3. Nolan Arenado

4. Troy Tulowitzki

5. Charlie Blackmon

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.

We lost a legend today.

Bob Uecker, the man known nation-wide as “Mr. Baseball”, passed away at the age of 90.

Uecker was a backup Catcher in the Majors, first appearing for his hometown Milwaukee Braves, and would later play for St. Louis (where he won a World Series in 1964), Philadelphia and Atlanta.  When his career ended, he briefly was a scout for the Milwaukee Brewers, but his natural wit made him perfect to transition into broadcasting 

Uecker began calling Brewers games in 1971 and held that role for 54 years.  Became an instant icon in Milwaukee, Uecker transcended the city with national appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and he would later become one of the pitchmen for Miller Lite.  He also starred in the ABC sitcom, Mr. Belvedere and was cast as the suffering announcer, Harry Doyle, in Major League and Major League 2. 

He was honored throughout his career, with the most significant accolade being the Ford C. Frick Award in 2003.  He was also inducted into the National Radio Hall 0f Fame (2001), the Milwaukee Brewers Ring of Honor (2005), and the WWE Hall Of Fame for his work as a ring announcer and commentator at Wrestlemania III and IV

We here at notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Bob Uecker.

Selected third overall in 2015 as the heir apparent to the Rockies' middle infield, Brendan Rodgers carried the "can’t-miss" tag for years. While he eventually secured a starting role, his time in Denver hasn't been the smooth ascent many predicted; instead, it has been a stop-and-start journey.

Rodgers’ tenure reached its clear defensive peak in 2022, a season where he finally stayed healthy enough to showcase his pedigree. He didn't just play second base; he dominated it, leading all National League second basemen in defensive runs saved and total zone runs. His 2.9 defensive bWAR was an elite outlier that earned him a Gold Glove, proving he had the specialized range to turn hits into outs.

Offensively, he backed up his fielding with a career-high 140 hits and 63 RBIs, appearing to finally be the foundational pillar the front office envisioned a decade ago. However, Rodgers’ career has been defined as much by the trainer’s room as the diamond. Since his debut, he has battled a relentless string of setbacks, from shoulder surgeries to hamstring strains. This physical toll reached a frustrating high-leverage point in 2023, when a ruptured capsule in his left shoulder cost him nearly the entire season.

While he returned for a final 135-game stretch in 2024, hitting .267 with 13 home runs, the organization decided to move on after the season, declining to tender the infielder and ending his six-year stint in purple and black.

With the Rockies, Rodgers compiled 449 hits.

Signed as a teenage free agent in 2017, Ezequiel 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.

During the 2024 campaign. That year, he established himself as a statistical outlier, leading the National League with 655 at-bats and 45 doubles while launching 26 home runs. He operated with a focused intensity that saw him secure his first Gold Glove, becoming the youngest shortstop in National League history to win the award.

However, the 2025 season tested his professional resilience. Tovar navigated a difficult summer defined by two significant injury stints, a hip contusion in April and a strained oblique in June, that limited him to 95 games.

As the 2026 season begins, the story in Colorado is centered on seeing who Tovar really is.  He still needs to work on his on-base percentage, but his defense looks to be solid.  Tovar has compiled 422 hits, 51 home runs, and 100 doubles entering 2026.
