Orlando Arcia– Went 4-4 in the biggest game of the season. He’s growing into someone that wants that AB

Rockies

Nolan Arenado: He is one of the best third basemen in baseball. Dangerous hitter and an unbelievable defender.

Charlie Blackmon: Lefty with some pop and good speed on the bases and in center field

Trevor Story: Make a mistake and he’ll take advantage of it. He has a lot of power and will be someone that can make a huge impact in the playoffs

Kyle Freeland: Once again, he has shown he wants the ball in high pressure situations. Lefty that will get hitters to swing and miss and cause weak contact. Has been dominant all year.
