Last season, the Rockies’ offense was — how should I put this? — terrible.
That’s not hyperbole when you consider that the Rockies:
• Hit .254, the second-lowest in franchise history behind the 2021 team (.249).
• Slugged .398, the first time in franchise history they finished with a slugging percentage below .400.
• Hit 149 home runs, the second-fewest for an entire season behind only the inaugural 1993 club (142).
• Hit 51 homers on the road, the second-fewest in a full season, trailing only the 2000 Rockies (49).
But that was then, and this is now.
