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.

39. Antonio Senzatela
A right-hander with a high-velocity heater and a heavy sinker, Antonio Senzatela arrived from Venezuela as an amateur free agent and quickly became a foundational piece of the Rockies' rotation. While his career has been a rollercoaster of high-leverage brilliance and injury-riddled setbacks, he has remained a symbol of the "mile-high" grind.
During the shortened 2020 campaign, he emerged as the definitive heartbeat of the rotation, leading the Rockies in bWAR (2.8) and posting a career-best 3.44 ERA over 12 starts. He displayed a professional resilience that allowed him to master the unpredictable physics of Coors Field, utilizing a specialized ability to induce ground balls and navigate deep into games. This performance was no fluke; it followed a solid 2017 rookie season in which he won 10 games.
After signing a significant five-year contract extension following a career-high 105-strikeout season in 2021, Senzatela entered a grueling chapter of health challenges. He suffered a torn ACL in 2022 and subsequently underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023, missing nearly two full years of competitive action. His return to the mound in late 2024 was a testament to his focused intensity, as he worked his way back to the active roster to provide the veteran-like poise a young Rockies staff desperately needed.
The 2025 season served as a high-stakes crossroads for the veteran right-hander. While he struggled with a career-high 15 losses and a 6.65 ERA as a starter, Senzatela authored a remarkable second act after being moved to the bullpen in late August. In a relief role, he reached a new level of efficiency, posting a sharp 2.86 ERA and proving that his mid-90s velocity still had movement.
As he moves into the 2026 campaign, refreshed by a championship run with Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, Senzatela stands as a versatile asset and could have a comeback year.
