gold star for USAHOF

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.

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.
