After spending big money on their bullpen in 2018, it ended up being the starting rotation that was the Rockies’ biggest strength. They only used six starters throughout the season (seven counting Jeff Hoffman’s one spot start), with Kyle Freeland, German Márquez, Jon Gray, and Tyler Anderson each starting more than 30 game. Freeland and Márquez both had breakout seasons to lead the way, with Freeland posting the lowest ERA by a Rockies pitcher (2.85) and Márquez setting a club record for season strikeouts (221). They are at the top of a long list of homegrown arms and if they keep pushing the momentum they built last year, this rotation could be deadly once again.
