With his success on both sides of the ball, you could also make an argument that Tony Wolters (.309 AVG, 19 RBI, 12 XBH, and already 15 more hits than he had ALL of last season) has been the Colorado Rockies‘ biggest surprise. However, for now, that title will go to the former veteran starter who has become one of the team’s most indispensable relievers.
In 2019, the Rockies pitching situation has done a 180. Last season, the rotation was excellent while the bullpen struggled mightily. This year, it has been the starting pitching that has given the Rockies problems while (last night’s debacle aside) the bullpen has quietly been one of the best in the game.
