Homers have always been associated with the Colorado Rockies. There are good reasons for this—the thin air that makes balls fly farther, reduced movement on pitches, the Blake Street Bombers, challenges in luring pitches to sign with Colorado—and several adjustments the team has made to adjust like the humidor, the Bridich Barrier, finding pitchers who produce mostly grounders, and more.
Throughout the 30-year history of the organization, the Rockies are mostly known for giving up their fair share of homers. In four different seasons, the Rockies have given up the most homers in MLB and they’ve finished in the lower third of the league 16 times.
