Players to Watch: Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves
Colorado Rockies
Hunter Goodman — C. Hunter Goodman anchors the middle of Colorado’s lineup from behind the plate, leading the team with 36 home runs, well ahead of TJ Rumfield’s 13, while driving in 72 runs. He’s doing it while hitting .252, pairing power with everyday at-bats as Colorado’s primary catcher.
Jake McCarthy — LF. In left field, Jake McCarthy has been Colorado’s most consistent bat, hitting .290 with a .330 on-base percentage. His .475 slugging percentage gives the Rockies a complete offensive profile in a lineup otherwise built around Goodman’s power.
TJ Rumfield — 1B. TJ Rumfield brings a different look to the middle of the order at first base, working a .380 on-base percentage that stands well above his .289 average alone. He’s added 13 home runs and 60 RBIs, rounding out a Colorado lineup that spreads its production across several positions.
Atlanta Braves
Matt Olson — 1B. Matt Olson has been the offensive engine at first base for Atlanta, leading the team with 37 home runs, well ahead of Ozzie Albies’ 20, and driving in 78 runs to go with a .259 average. His power production has helped keep the Braves within 4 games of the National League’s leader as the stretch run approaches.
Michael Harris II — CF. Center field belongs to Michael Harris II, who is hitting .292 with a .487 slugging percentage that blends average and extra-base pop. That combination makes him one of the more complete bats in Atlanta’s lineup, complementing the power up the middle from Olson and Albies.
Ozzie Albies — 2B. At second base, Ozzie Albies adds another power bat to Atlanta’s lineup, hitting .256 with 20 home runs and 67 RBIs. His combination of pop and everyday production gives the Braves length in the middle of the order beyond Olson and Harris.
