The MLB Season is still early, but it's been special, especially for a team like the Colorado Rockies (22-14). While they have a much better offense than pitching every year, this year they have dominated the scoreboard consistently. The Rockies scored 29 runs total in the last three games.
The Rockies lead in basically every offensive category. The team batting average is .310 percent, the next best team is Detroit with a .285 percent average! Colorado has hit 50 long bombs, 87 doubles (71 for second) and scored 215 runs, 36 more runs than the White Sox, at second place in the category.
What players in particular have contributed to the fireworks? Superstars Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez are doing great, where Tulowitzki leads the nation in batting average (.414%) and Gonzalez recently hit five for five in a game against Texas.
Several key young players are making a huge impact as well. First, Charley Blackman had a hot start, where he hit 6/6 in a game against Arizona in early April, and has maintained a high level of play. Next, third baseman Nolan Arenado has pushed a 28 game hitting streak, along with maintaining his even more talented defensive skills. Former Twins player Justin Morneau has also contributed substantially, who has replaced recently retired Todd Helton at first base.
While it's yet to see whether or not the pitching will be able to sustain the Rockies' success, the offense should consistently put points on the scoreboard.
