For the first time in a long while, first base is one of the Rockies’ strongest and least worrisome positions heading into 2022. Not only do they have a strong returning face in C.J. Cron who turned in an impressive 2021 season, but they also have an assortment of characters on the roster to fall back on if needed.
After signing a minor league contract prior to the 2021 season, Cron looked to prove himself as an everyday starter on the field. After injury robbed him of the 2020 campaign with the Detroit Tigers, the former University of Utah product returned to the Rocky Mountains and quickly became the best bat in the Rockies lineup.
