#Rockies announce their Spring Breakout roster March 21 against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, AZ.

Ethan Holliday, Charlie Condon, Roldy Brito and many other top prospects set to shine.

#Rockies Mickey Moniak grew up watching Clayton Kershaw in Southern California.

In his first ever plate appearance against the future Hall of Famer, Moniak hits a 414 ft home run on Team USAโ€™s veteran southpaw.

#Rockies leaders in starts per position through the first 8 games of the Cactus League slate.

Including Saturday, INF Willi Castro has the most starts (5) in the infield. Colorado could be having 2B Adael Amador and 3B Kyle Karros battle for a place on Opening Day roster.

#Rockies Zac Veen, 447 ft to center, has his second walk-off home run in a week.

Itโ€™s only seven games and itโ€™s only Spring Training but three #Rockies are in the top 6 in OPS.

Charlie Condon and T.J. Rumfield are just two battling for the first base job in Colorado along with Blaine Crim, Troy Johnston and Edouard Julien.

Winners of four straight, Colorado has scored 25 runs in their past two games and currently sit 5-2 this spring.

Only one team has a better record and a better run differential in the Cactus League thus far:

Of course itโ€™s the Los Angeles Dodgers.

T.J. Rumfield has now homered in three consecutive at-bats with Colorado.

Rumfield, 25, has reached base in six consecutive plate appearances (3 HR, 1B, 2 BB) as he battles for a place on the #Rockies Opening Day roster.

#Rockies T.J. Rumfield was blocked by Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice with the New York Yankees.

A trade to Colorado for RHP Angel Chivilli has opened a door for the 25-year-old first baseman.

Rumfield is making a strong first impression with a two-homer game for the Rox.

Charlie Condon began 2025 on the injured list with a fractured wrist before ending the year in the Arizona Fall League.

In 2026, battling for a chance to win the vacant first base spot, the #Rockies top pick in the 2024 MLB Draft is off to a great start.

#Rockies Zac Veen, sober and up 42 pounds since the end of 2025, discusses his 468 ft walk-off homer.

The baseball is jumping off his bat more even though he's still focused on line drives.

"Sometimes I'm going to get blessed like today."

Kyle Karros grew up watching Nolan Arenado. His first game this spring was against the future HOFer on Friday.

On Sunday, he went 3-for-3 with an RBI. Karros feels ready to make an impact with the Rockies.

"I want to cement myself as one of the best third basemen to come through Colorado."

1B Rhys Hoskins has a minor league deal with the Cleveland Guardians worth $1.5 million if he makes the roster, according to Zack Meisel.

Hoskins was the last viable first base option for Colorado.

#Rockies will go in-house with Blaine Crim, Troy Johnston and Edouard Julien.

Cole Carrigg hit second for Colorado in the Cactus League opener and played shortstop for the first time since 2024, impressing on both fronts.

Manager Warren Schaeffer discusses Carrigg's performance on Friday, which include a triple that displayed his plus-speed.

Cole Carrigg (#86) has been taking reps at shortstop this spring with the #Rockies after exclusively playing outfield in 2025.

One of Coloradoโ€™s top 5 prospects, Carrigg is a former C/SS/CF from San Diego State who may find his way in the Majors as a super utility player.

DH Shohei Ohtani faced RHP Tomoyuki Sugano twice in 2025.

Ohtani homered both times.

Now with the Rockies, Sugano will face the Dodgers and his Samurai Japan teammate four times in 2026.

Kris Bryant said the pain he feels daily is like โ€œbeing electrocuted in my whole body.โ€

Bryant, 34, has played 170 games in four seasons with the Colorado Rockies.

It seems unlikely that heโ€™ll ever play in the Majors again due to his lumbar degenerative disc disease.

Rhys Hoskins is the last big name first baseman in free agency. Christian Walker (Astros) and Jake Cronenworth (Padres) are both trade candidates.

If you don't get a breaking news alert on your phone, there are still three 1B options currently on the roster.

No surprise to see Ethan Holliday (#47) and Charlie Condon (#67).

The Colorado Rockies managed to go 15-15 with five series wins - including a series split with the World Series Champions, the LA Dodgers - after the All-Star break.

Brenton Doyle believes the lessons learned from 2025 coupled with a fresh start can mean good things in 2026.
