The 100 Greatest Colorado Rockies: 79 Todd Walker

Todd Walker is one of the best second baseman in Colorado Rockies franchise history and that feat took less than two seasons. DJ LeMahieu wasn’t the first former LSU Tiger to win the College World Series and play second base for the Rockies. Walker was on the 1993 National Championship team. He was the College World Series Most Outstanding player that year. He was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009.

That elite college play led him to the 8th pick of the first round of the 1994 draft by the Minnesota Twins. He made his debut in 1996 and became the starting second baseman in 1998.
