Keep rolling, Trevor Story

I honestly believe that Trevor Story is the X-factor on this Rockies team. We all know what that three-headed monster at the top of the order can do. DJ, Charlie and Nolan to start your day is a nightmare for any starting pitcher, and if Trevor Story can continue swinging the bat like he has been the last couple weeks, it adds a fourth head to that monster and a fifth when you look at CarGo coming back from injury. Terrifying.

Full disclosure, I am a huge Trevor Story fan. Not only because of his mastery at four of the five tools on a baseball field, but because of the way he has handled the struggles. Being someone who has faced a lot of adversity and more ups and downs than I care to try to imagine, he has never snapped at the media, has never let the strikeouts affect his attitude or his play on defense. He carries himself with humility and hard work and I think his teammates love him. For that, and the obvious reasons (dingers), I think Trevor is a keystone to this team and I like the way he is looking at the dish. Keep it going.
