On Sunday, MLB.com published an article titled 1 thing each team can improve upon the rest of the way with nuggets of information from each team’s beat writer.
Some teams need to be more productive with runners in scoring position, have more leadoff production or more base stealing, have a more consistent bullpen and more. Every team has things to improve — some more than others.
MLB.com’s Thomas Harding identified better hitting against right-handed pitching, specifically from Ezequiel Tovar, Brenton Doyle, Jordan Beck and Hunter Goodman. With Warren Schaeffer’s preference to focus on match-up specific lineups, Doyle’s and Beck’s struggles have relegated them to the bench more often than not.
If I could pick one thing, it would be to lower the strikeouts. The Rockies lead MLB with 401 total strikeouts and an average of 9.78 Ks per nine innings. I know this is a massive change to ask for, but just reducing those strikeouts by one per game would be a great start. My wishlist would be to finish around 20th in team strikeouts by the end of the season.
Your turn.
Realistic: What is one thing the Rockies can improve on the rest of the way?
Wishlist: What is the one thing you wish the Rockies could improve on the rest of the way?
Feel free to answer one or both.
