The 2025 Colorado Rockies have picked up where they left off in 2024 in that the lackluster offense continues. Yesterday, Evan Lang detailed just how bad the offense is. (Look, a 28.2% strikeout rate that is the highest in the majors is just bad.)
In short, this offense needs help.
Two weeks ago, Joelle Milholm advocated for the Colorado Rockies adopting the torpedo bat, a trendy hitting tool that has taken MLB by storm early in the 2025 season.
As she wrote then:
By moving the bat’s sweet spot from 5-7 inches from the end cap closer to the player’s hands, or about 11-14 inches from the end cap, the torpedo bat can help more batters get the barrel on the ball for solid contact, according to ESPN’s Jeff Pasan.
