The Colorado Rockies outfield production has not been good in 2022. So far this season, only Yonathan Daza and Connor Joe have posted a wRC+ above league average and the group collectively has been good for a .707 OPS and 87 wRC+ in 1,187 plate appearances heading into Friday. This is on-par with the lineup’s struggles as a whole, so seeing a group representing one-third of the lineup posting mediocre figures is no big surprise.
But coming off a historically bad outfield performance in 2021, changes were needed to expect a better outcome in 2022.
