10 unbelievable stats about the 2025 Colorado Rockies

At 9-46 entering Wednesday, the Colorado Rockies are off to a historically bad start to 2025. Let's take a look at 10 stats that illustrate how putrid the Rockies have been to begin the season.

1. The Rockies are one of just two teams since 1901 to have fewer than 10 wins in their first 55 games, joining the 1904 Washington Senators. Colorado did manage to avoid the major league record, as the 1895 Louisville Colonels mustered only eight wins in their first 55 games of the year.

2. The Rockies have continued to make the wrong kind of history to start the season. Not only were they tied for the sixth-worst record after 24 games in major league history, but the Rockies had the second-fewest wins after 30 games, 35 games and 40 games — trailing only the 1988 Orioles, who began the season with 21 consecutive losses. The Rockies had the fewest wins after 45 games, tied with the 1904 Senators, and 50 games.

3. Kris Bryant signed a seven-year, $182 million contract on March 18, 2022. As Spotrac noted on Bluesky, the Rockies have since spent a total of $30.5 million in free agency on 10 players.

4. The Rockies have a 197-344 record since signing Bryant, the worst record in the majors since the beginning of the 2022 season.

 5. With their 4-3, 11-inning loss to the Cubs on Tuesday, the Rockies set a major league record by losing their 21st consecutive series, dating back to last season. That passes the mark set by the 2024 White Sox en route to their historically awful 41-121 record.

6. The White Sox's record of 121 losses last season may not last for long. The Rockies are currently on pace for approximately 27 wins, the fewest in a non-pandemic season since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders were 20-134. If the Rockies do continue on this pace, they will set the major league record in losses, edging out the Spiders with 135 defeats on the season.

7. The Rockies lost their 46th game just after Memorial Day. The 2001 Seattle Mariners lost 46 games all season.

8. Entering Wednesday, the Rockies had the lowest batting average (.219), 29th in on-base percentage (.285) and runs scored (176), 27th in slugging (.357) and are tied for 26th with 46 homers. That offensive futility has made the Rockies offense worth -3.6 fWAR, the only team in the majors below replacement level.

9. The offense is not only to blame. The Rockies pitching staff has the worst ERA (5.66) and WHIP (1.603), and the fewest strikeouts (363) in the majors. 

10. Third baseman Ryan McMahon, the Rockies' most valuable hitter, has been worth 1.0 bWAR on the season entering Wednesday. Not only is that less than the gap between Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and second-place Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs, but Rangers shortstop Corey Seager has been more valuable (1.6 bWAR) in half the games (26 games for Seager, 53 for McMahon).
