In 2018, the Colorado Rockies had Carlos Gonzalez, Gerardo Parra, and Charlie Blackmon batting from the left side of the plate, with the only righty being Ian Desmond who struggled for most of the season.
Bud Black found out quickly that this put him in a tough situation in games where they faced a left-handed starter. They addressed the problem by calling up Noel Cuevas at times throughout the season and by signing former Rockies’ great, Matt Holliday, in August for the playoff run.
