Rockies Offense Led by a Veteran and Second Year Player

Colorado’s third baseman has certainly been a key reason for the recent success of the Rockies offense.  McMahon, 29, has collected 13 hits and five RBI through his last nine games. Hopefully, this track record of success will continue throughout the entire regular season. It will not only be beneficial for McMahon’s career but for this Rockies organization as well throughout this long and grueling 162-game season.

Brenton Doyle is Right Alongside McMahon

Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle currently leads the team in runs and stolen bases. Doyle has played in 44 out of the Rockies 46 games. Doyle, 26, has had 161 at-bats and recorded 44 hits, 29 runs, five home runs, 13 runs batted in, and nine stolen bases with a batting average of .273. While he leads the team with nine steals, it’s also great for the Rockies that he has only gotten caught stealing once thus far. Already 46 games into the season, and Doyle is already looking to have a better stat line than his rookie season. Last season, he put up 81 hits, 10 home runs, and 48 runs batted in.

He already has half of what he put up last season in hits and home runs. The young outfielder has been huge during the Rockies recent stretch as he’s had five steals in eight games. Ezequiel Tovar is the second-highest steals leader on Colorado with four stolen bases. There’s a good chance, Doyle doubles or even triples the amount of steals he had in his rookie campaign. Considering his glove and arm strength on defense, winning a Gold Glove last season, he’ll certainly continue to be a key asset for this franchise.
