Five years can feel like a very long time. During the summer of 2014, Troy Tulowitzki, the Rockies’ start 29-year-old shortstop, began the year playing the best baseball of his life. On May 6 he was batting .421/.522/.794. A month later he was still batting .359/452/.682. And yet a month after that, on July 6, he was still hitting .350/.442/.605. It was incredible. But it was also short-lived. His season ended on July 19. Tulowitzki’s 5.5 Baseball Reference WAR was the 12th best season for a position player in Rockies’ history, and he did it in just 91 games.
