The season is still very young, but so far the MVP for the Colorado Rockies is a clear choice.
Elias Díaz.
It might be surprising, but it’s not even a contest. His 0.8 bWAR is the best on the team with Charlie Blackmon at second with 0.3. Díaz is even better than the best Rockies pitchers—Kyle Freeland and Justin Lawrence— at 0.6.
The 32-year-old catcher is leading the team, one that has C.J. Cron and Kris Bryant on the roster, in batting average at .333, slugging percentage at .486, and OPS at .878. He has two homers (tied for fourth), five doubles (tied for fourth), 24 hits (tied for second), eight runs and (tied for fifth).
