It’s not easy to dish out awards for the 2023 Rockies, given that they own the worst record in franchise history and lost 100 games for the first time. But I’ll give it my best shot.
Rookie outfielder Nolan Jones gets the nod over rookie shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and veteran catcher Elias Diaz. Yes, Tovar plays a more impactful defensive position, and Diaz caught more games than anyone in Rockies history and also was the MVP of the All-Star Game.
Jones’ 18 outfield assists are the most in the majors and the most in franchise history, surpassing Dante Bichette’s 17 in 1999, despite playing only 90 games in the outfield .This is tough to call because an MVP on the hill is difficult to find. As manager Bud Black said Friday, Colorado’s starting rotation was “ravaged” by injuries this season. There’s no denying that, but Colorado’s veteran starters struggled when they were healthy, too. The rotation’s combined ERA of 5.
Freeland gets a slight edge because he made two more starts and his record should have been much better. He was the ultimate hard-luck pitcher this season, getting precious little run support and getting beat by “that’s baseball” base hits throughout the season.
