A wise sitcom character once said, “The future is now, old man.”
Over these final weeks of the 2024 season, the Colorado Rockies are moving forward with a youth movement. Over the weekend in New York the Rockies deployed a slew of rookies and younger service-time players and a lineup with few players over the age of 26. The outfield in particular has now regularly featured Nolan Jones in left field, Brenton Doyle in center and Jordan Beck in right. It’s the outfield fans envisioned back in April when Beck was called up, but due to injuries have been deprived of it for most of the season.
