Many baseball fans question why the National League still lets pitchers bat. The American League has used the designated hitter for a while now and it seems to work for them. So I decided what if the MLB decided to bring the DH to the NL, it’d be great right? Of course, we will get a look at the Colorado Rockies with a designated hitter when the Rockies travel to face the Texas Rangers (June 15-17), Seattle Mariners (July 6-8), Houston Astros (August 14-15) and Los Angeles Angels (August 27-28).

So if and when this happens, who would be the designated hitter for the Colorado Rockies?

Now you’ve probably got a lot of names running through your head … as did I when I first asked this question. With the Rockies, there would be so many possibilities. That’s a really good thing to hear when you have a team like this trying to contend.

Due to the fact that I have a few players in mind, I thought I’d just go over each one. I’ll go over

each player’s 2017 season, projections and where in the lineup they’d fit as designated hitter.
