The Greatest Colorado Rockies: 88 John Vander Wal

John Vander Wal played for Colorado for five seasons, more than any other team in his nearly 15-year career. He ranks seventh on the all-time pinch-hit list with 129. He had an MLB record 28 hits in 1995 which was his best season with the club. Vander Wal helped the Rockies reach the playoffs that year with a .347 batting average. Although he never had much power, even at Coors Field, as a pinch hitter he could be counted on to get on base and drive in runs.

Vander Wal has easily played the most games of any Rockies player on this list so far.
