If someone were to look at the 2026 Colorado Rockies, they would think that this is a fluke, because there is simply no way that the Rockies are this much better than the team that came inches from the worst season in MLB history merely an offseason ago.

But here we are. Colorado sits a handful of games under .500 and is not close to the worst team in baseball, with key players thriving in the hitting lineup.

However, the most noteworthy change with the Rockies is the pitching staff , that has had a monumental turnaround that went from laughable to respectable, led by a ton of elite arms inside the bullpen.

There is a new face in the president of baseball operations position, Paul DePodesta, and he had lots to say on the Rockies' approach regarding its bullpen.
