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.

17. Ryan McMahon
A second round pick, Ryan McMahon transitioned into a full-time role in 2019, immediately establishing a baseline of reliable power by launching 24 home runs and driving in 83 runs. He possessed a specialized, left-handed swing that became a permanent fixture in the middle of the order, but it was his move across the diamond that truly unlocked his elite value. He was a model of specialized versatility, sliding from the keystone to third base in 2021 and responding with a defensive masterpiece. That summer, he led the National League with a massive 2.6 Defensive bWAR, turning the "hot corner" into a personal highlight reel of high-leverage stops.
The most consistent aspect of his tenure was the combination of steady power and acrobatic range. McMahon authored four separate seasons with at least 20 home runs, providing the tactical stability required to anchor a rebuilding lineup. Even as his batting average hovered in the .250 range, his craftsmanship with the glove remained a gold standard; he was a high-frequency producer of "web gems" who consistently ranked among the elite in Outs Above Average. He served as the emotional heartbeat of the clubhouse, a veteran anchor who chose to sign a long-term extension to stay with the club during a period of significant transition.
As good as McMahon was, the team around him faltered. He was traded to the New York Yankees and left behind 812 Hits and 140 Home Runs.
