Our All-Time Top 50 Colorado Rockies have been updated to reflect the 2023 Season

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2023 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 Major League Baseball.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Colorado had a bad year, and it resulted in no new entrants and only a few changes on the list.

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.

It is worth noting that Blackmon was unable to move past the #5 spot, which is where he was last year.

Pitcher, Kyle Freeland, rose to #14 from #17, and it impacted another hurler, German Marquez, who was injured and was overtaken by Freeland.  He dropped one spot to #16.

Infielder, Ryan McMahon, went from #32 to #25.

Pitcher, Antonio Senzatela, was also injured, and did not move from #42. 

C.J. Cron, was traded to the Los Angeles Angels, was unable to climb from #50.

We thank you for your continued support for our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

18. German Marquez

German Márquez established himself as a frontline starter in 2017, but it was his second season that he reached his peak. That season remains a pillar of club history; he captured a Silver Slugger and finished sixth in bWAR for pitchers, proving that his high-velocity fastball could neutralize any lineup regardless of altitude. He was a model of specialized athleticism, a high-frequency winner who seemed destined to rewrite every pitching record in the Mountain West. His craftsmanship was punctuated by a 2021 All-Star nod, a moment that served as the high-water mark for his tenure in the purple pinstripes.

The latter half of his journey, however, was defined by a frustrating search for that lost magic. Márquez possessed a specialized "bulldog" mentality, but the physical demands of pitching in thin air, coupled with a major elbow injury that sidelined him, began to erode his statistical dominance. His final seasons in Colorado were a grueling grind; his once-elite efficiency wavered, and his ERA climbed as he struggled to maintain his rhythm between stints on the IL.

Following the 2025 Season, Marquez signed with the San Diego Padres as a Free Agent.  With the Rockies, Márquez compiled 65 wins and a franchise-record 983 strikeouts.
