Through the first five games of the 2022 season the Colorado Rockies have a record of 4-1, sit atop their division in the National League West, and have even toppled the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers in their Opening Day series. Perhaps most surprising in this admittedly way too small sample size is the emergency of a league-leading bullpen. In a good way.
Like most other teams, the Rockies are keeping their starting pitchers on pitch counts as a result of the shortened spring training in order to help them stretch out and avoid injuries.
