He will lead or close to leading all-time in triples and strikeouts. He’ll be in the well that is second place behind Todd Helton in eight categories: Games, Plate Appearances, Runs, Hits, Singles, Doubles, Steals, and Caught Stealing. Finally, Blackmon would still be in the top 10 in Home Runs, RBIs, Total Outs, and Offensive WAR.

If Charlie Blackmon has a career as long as Todd Helton’s with the Colorado Rockies, he will go down as a Rockie greater than Larry Walker, though Todd Helton might still want to have a word with him. Blackmon would certainly lead the franchise in Hit by Pitch, Triples, Strikeouts, and Singles. He could possibly top the leaderboard in Plate Appearances, Runs, Home Runs, and oWAR.

With that career he would still be in second in Games, Hits, Doubles, RBIs, Steals, and Caught Stealing. Finally, Blackmon would most likely be doomed to third in outs made as the DH is implemented and they move him there.
