Around the league, there are always players who just have another team’s number. Sometimes these are good players who take it to another level. Sometimes these are mediocre players who for whatever reason just seem like they turn into an All-Star when they face a certain team. We don’t know why Ben Paulsen produced a 130 wRC+ against the San Francisco Giants in his career. It’s just how it worked out.
There are four active players who have always filled me with fear when they bat against the Colorado Rockies—namely Wil Myers, Paul Goldschmidt, Trea Turner and Matt Kemp.
