The 100 Greatest Colorado Rockies: 70 Wilin Rosario

Wilin Rosario is arguably the best hitting catcher in Rockies history. In 2016, he signed with the Hannah Eagles who are part of the Korea Baseball Organization. What happened and how did happen so quickly? If the Rockies were in the American League, Rosario might still be in the majors.

Rosario debuted in early September 2011. He showed his power immediately hitting three homers in just 16 games. His first full season might have been his best playing in 117 games, finishing 4th in the 2012 NL Rookie of the year voting. He hit .270 with 28 home runs (the most for catchers that year) and 71 RBIs.
