If you were to guess which Rockies’ fielding position had the lowest batting average in 2020, which position comes to mind?
Catcher? Nope.
Maybe second base? Nope.
Designated hitter. The position that is all about and only about hitting, that is the position where 10 different Rockies combined to post a .212 batting average, well below the team’s .257 average, but also below second base at .228 and catcher at .230. There was more run production and power from the position, but in their first chance to use the DH, the Rockies could not capitalize.
