Who should be the next Rockies leadoff hitter? Part 1: Veterans

The Rockies need a leadoff hitter. One that gets on base and can try to be a catalyst for a struggling offense that needs to score more runs. This article is the first of a two-part series looking at who could be the Rockies next leadoff hitter in 2023. Part 1 will look at the veterans, defined by at least two solid years of experience in the Big Leagues. Next week, Part 2 will look at rookies in their first or second year.

After the 2022 season ended, the Rockies list of areas of improvement included starting pitching, bullpen, and the offense, including a leadoff center fielder.
