The Colorado Rockies faced a challenging 2024 season, finishing with a record of 61-101 and landing in last place in the NL West. Their pitching was particularly problematic, ranking last in MLB with a team ERA of 5.48, while their offense showed some promise with key players like Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle making strides.

Despite some individual successes, the overall performance was disappointing, especially on the road where they struggled significantly. The Rockies will need to address their pitching woes and consider potential trades in the offseason to improve their roster for the future.
