The Colorado Rockies best, worst positions by fWAR in the last month

#2 strength: Third base

With Nolan Arenado’s struggles, you may think that he is still not up the Nolan Arenado play. With that statement, you would be correct. However, he still has played much better in the last month, which is the reason why third base is the 2nd-highest ranking for a position in the last month.

Since August 10 (Arenado was off on August 9, which was the Rockies first loss in their 9-20 skid when they lost the series finale to the Mariners in Seattle), Arenado has hit .313/.349/.545 with a wRC+ of 111.

Total, players playing third base for the Rockies accumulated an fWAR of 1.2 since August 9th, which is 7th best in all of baseball in that span.

Honorable mention: Designated hitter

Believe it or not, the Rockies designated hitters were 12th in fWAR from the August 9 through September 8 span. They had an fWAR of 0.4. Matt Kemp has struggled some at the plate and he has been the Rockies primary DH but they have had some plate appearances from Raimel Tapia, Trevor Story, and Charlie Blackmon as well.
