Rockies Face Record-Breaking Decline: 10 Statistics Highlighting a Disastrous April

News EditorBy News EditorMay 2, 2025 Sports 5 Mins Read

The Colorado Rockies concluded April on a rare positive note, securing a narrow 2-1 victory against reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves. Despite this win, the Rockies’ season has been tumultuous, marked by a devastating record of 5-25. As they sit with the worst record in Major League Baseball, they are making headlines for another reason; the franchise has recorded one of the worst starts in modern baseball history. This article delves into the troubling statistics that highlight why the Rockies are struggling significantly this season.

1) Projected Historic Record
2) Consecutive 100-Loss Seasons
3) Required Winning Percentage
4) Run Differential Crisis
5) Offensive Struggles

Projected Historic Record

If the Colorado Rockies continue their current pace, they could finish the season with a dismal record of 27-135. This would mark an unprecedented low in modern MLB history, far surpassing the previous record set last year by the Chicago White Sox, who ended their season at 41-121. The record being projected indicates that the Rockies could become one of the few franchises to lose over 135 games in a single season, a feat that could resonate through the annals of baseball history.

Consecutive 100-Loss Seasons

The unprecedented nature of their current performance leaves the Rockies potentially on track for a third consecutive season with 100 or more losses. Though some experts in baseball analytics, including those using the Baseball Prospectus‘ PECOTA forecast model, indicate the Rockies may lose around 114 games this season, this would still represent a concerning milestone in franchise history. Historically, only a dozen teams in the entire modern era have achieved the dubious distinction of three consecutive 100-loss seasons.

Required Winning Percentage

In order to escape the threat of another record-setting loss season, the Rockies need to go 58-74 over the remaining games. This would require a winning percentage of approximately 43.9%, which translates to 71 total wins if stretched across a full 162-game season. This is a challenging target, especially considering the Rockies haven’t managed to attain 70 wins in any season since 2021. The weight of this expectation falls heavily on a team struggling to find stability.

Run Differential Crisis

At the heart of the Rockies’ struggles lies a troubling run differential of -77, the worst in Major League Baseball. This statistic reveals that they have, on average, been outscored by an alarming 2.6 runs per game. Such a deficit indicates a significant lack of both offensive productivity and pitching effectiveness, magnifying the depth of their struggles as they attempt to navigate the remainder of the season.

Offensive Struggles

Compounding their difficulties is the team’s abysmal offensive performance, characterized by a strikingly low wRC+ (weighted runs created plus) of just 63. This figure reflects one of the worst offensive displays in Major League Baseball history, making it the lowest for any team since the integration of baseball in 1947. The only team in history to post a lower wRC+ was the 1963 New York Mets, suggesting the Rockies are teetering on the brink of ignominious history.

Key Points

No. Key Points
1 Projected record of 27-135 is at risk of breaking records for worst MLB season.
2 Possibility of a third consecutive season with 100+ losses threatens franchise integrity.
3 Winning 58 of 132 remaining games needed to avoid further historic losses.
4 Run differential of -77 marks one of the worst performances in MLB.
5 Offensive struggles highlighted by a wRC+ of just 63—one of MLB’s historical lows.

Summary

The Colorado Rockies find themselves in a dire situation as they contend with the looming potential of historical ineptitude in MLB. With multiple indicators—such as an unfavorable projected record, sustained offensive failures, and a threat of consecutive 100-loss seasons—the organization is facing a pivotal moment that could redefine their legacy. As fans and analysts look toward the future, the team’s performance in the coming weeks will be critical to determining whether they remain plagued by these historical lows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Why are the Rockies struggling this season?

The Colorado Rockies are struggling due to a combination of historical lows in offensive performance and significant deficits in run differential, putting them at risk of achieving one of the worst records in MLB history.

Question: What does a wRC+ of 63 indicate for the Rockies?

A wRC+ of 63 indicates that the Rockies’ offense is performing at a level dramatically lower than league average, making them among the worst offensive teams in MLB history.

Question: How does the Rockies’ current season compare to past disastrous seasons?

If the Rockies continue on their current trajectory, they may not only face one of the worst records in baseball but could also end up achieving three consecutive seasons with 100 or more losses, a feat only a handful of franchises have accomplished.
