For the Rockies to turn the corner in 2025, they’ll need strong seasons out of three key positional players: center fielder Brenton Doyle, shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and first baseman Michael Toglia. A look at five notable numbers for each player heading into the season.
Brenton Doyle
31
Dating back to 2023, Doyle’s outs above average are the most among all MLB outfielders.
2
Consecutive Gold Glove Awards; a third straight in ’25 would make him the active positional leader.
35
Doyle’s K percentage as a rookie. He cut that to 25.4 in ’24. Another substantial drop would be big.
52
Stolen bases through two seasons, including a team-high 30 last season using elite sprint speed.
19
Doyle’s whiff percentage in ’24, which ranked in the bottom fifth of baseball for all hitters.
Ezequiel Tovar
200
Strikeouts by Tovar in 2024, a Rockies record. Less Ks is imperative in ’25.
5
All-time shortstops, including Tovar, to have 45-plus doubles in a season before age 23.
26
Homers in ’24, a team best, as he flashed power reminiscent of Troy Tulowitzki and Trevor Story.
38.5
Launch angle sweet spot percentage by Tovar, among top 13% in MLB, hence his ’24 power surge.
.988
Fielding percentage over the past two seasons, which is second among all shortstops in that span.
Michael Toglia
32.1
The first baseman’s strikeout percentage in 2024, which ranked in the bottom 4% of baseball.
11.8
Toglia’s walk percentage in ’24, which ranked in the top 8% of baseball.
25
Homers last season; Toglia emerged as a much-needed power threat in his first full year as starter.
17.3
Barrel rate last season, up from 5.5% in ’23, and which ranked him in top 2% of baseball.
116
Games played by Toglia in ’24 after just 76 across his first two seasons; he solidified his job at first base.
