In the next few weeks, we will not have baseball games being played by the Colorado Rockies or any other team, due to the cancellation of the rest of spring training and the postponement of the regular season for concerns over the coronavirus. That doesn’t mean that we won’t have plenty of things to discuss over the coming weeks. Today, we will start our series on the top 5 players at each position in Colorado Rockies’ history.

The Colorado Rockies have a few positions in which they have been really strong. Unfortunately, for the Rockies, the catching position is one that has not been their strong suit.

Particularly at the beginning of their franchise’s history, there was a lot of turnover at the position, which is part of the reason why there’s not a really strong candidate at the position. Even now, the Rockies catching situation is one of the weaknesses of the team, particularly at the batter’s box.

For these and all of our rankings, we will consider their time in a Rockies uniform. However, if it is very close, we will consider their time with other teams as, essentially, a tiebreaker.

Without further ado, let’s check out the Rockies’ top five catchers of all-time.
