Back in 2019, despite being a disappointing season after back-to-back playoff appearances, September turned out to have some unexpected highlights.
It was the days of “las cucarachas,” and Rockies fans were being treated to home runs, timely hitting, and great fielding by prospects like Sam Hilliard, Garrett Hampson, Raimel Tapia, and Yonathan Daza. It was also Ryan McMahon’s first complete season with the Rockies.
Even in a down year, the future was looking bright. In 2020, this crew could be the new core to take the Rockies to the next level, especially if 2016 first-round draft pick Brendan Rodgers could recover from his shoulder injury and become a staple in the lineup.
