Players to Watch: Colorado Rockies vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Colorado Rockies
Jake McCarthy — CF. Hitting .293 with a .331 on-base percentage and a .490 slugging mark, McCarthy has settled in as Colorado’s most reliable everyday bat from center field. His blend of average and pop keeps him near the top of the Rockies’ order in a lineup that has otherwise scuffled this season.
Hunter Goodman — C. Goodman supplies the power in Colorado’s lineup, hitting .254 with 33 home runs and 66 RBIs from behind the plate.
TJ Rumfield — 1B. At first base, Rumfield is hitting .291 with a .370 on-base percentage, adding 13 home runs and 58 RBIs of his own. His blend of average and pop gives the Rockies’ lineup a second dependable bat to build innings around.
St. Louis Cardinals
Alec Burleson — 1B. Burleson has been a steady presence in the middle of the Cardinals’ lineup, hitting .287 with a .351 on-base percentage and a .480 slugging mark this season. His all-around approach at the plate makes him a tough out for St. Louis.
Iván Herrera — DH. Behind a .355 on-base percentage, Herrera has carved out a role as one of St. Louis’ more patient hitters, pairing that plate discipline with a .239 average and a .373 slugging mark. His willingness to work counts makes him a tougher at-bat than his batting average alone suggests.
JJ Wetherholt — 2B. Wetherholt has added pop from the middle infield, hitting .248 with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs this season. His power numbers give the Cardinals another source of run production in the lineup.
