Flashing clutch hitting and power, Elias Díaz has earned his rightful place as the Rockies long-term catcher.
In 2021, brought a much-needed boost to the lineup with a career-high 18 homers, including two walk-off blasts. The most memorable came on July 1 when he hit a three-run homer to beat the Cardinals in Nolan Arenado’s first game back with fans at Coors Field. Díaz will go down in fan history for coming up clutch to beat the Cardinals again on the 4th of July, this time with a single (to give him three total walk-off hits on the year) to bring home Joshua Fuentes and a victory before the fireworks.
