Colorado Rockies (55-88) at New York Yankees (81-62) — Game Preview

Players to Watch: Colorado Rockies vs. New York Yankees
Colorado Rockies
TJ Rumfield — 1B. Rumfield has given Colorado steady production at the top of the lineup, hitting .299 with a .389 on-base percentage and a .460 slugging mark this season. His on-base ability makes him one of the more effective table-setters in a Rockies lineup that has struggled for consistency all year.
Hunter Goodman — C. Behind the plate, Hunter Goodman has turned into Colorado’s primary power threat, hitting .249 with 36 home runs and 76 RBIs. His 36 home runs match Ben Rice’s total on the Yankees side, marking a career season of production for the Rockies catcher.
Ezequiel Tovar — SS. Tovar rounds out the group with a .212 average, 10 home runs and 41 RBIs, numbers that reflect a difficult season across Colorado’s infield. His .258 on-base percentage and .333 slugging mark still make him a regular presence up the middle for a Rockies club looking ahead to next season.
New York Yankees
Cody Bellinger — LF. Bellinger has settled into a steady everyday role in left field for New York, hitting .264 with a .344 on-base percentage and a .412 slugging mark. His all-around production has made him one of the more reliable bats in a Yankees lineup built on power up and down the order.
Ben Rice — DH. As New York’s primary designated hitter, Rice has turned into one of the club’s top offensive threats this season, driving in 88 runs to go with 36 home runs and a .259 average. His 88 RBIs are the highest total of any hitter in this matchup, 12 more than Hunter Goodman’s team-leading 76 for Colorado.
Aaron Judge — RF. Judge has appeared in just 59 games this season but is still hitting .248 with a .375 on-base percentage and a .533 slugging mark. Even in a reduced role, his power numbers remain a driving force in a New York lineup built around thump throughout the order.
