Here's a fun fact: In Todd Helton's first 532 plate appearances of the 2000 season, he had 178 hits in 445 at-bats. That's a .400 batting average, and with enough plate appearances to qualify it for a full season. Far as I know, he's the only player to pull that off since WIlliams. That 532nd plate appearance was a 6th inning single on August 21, 2000. He went on to strikeout in the 8th inning and groundout in the 9th to dip the average below .400 for good.

god I love Larry Walker. nothing better then a good old walker Home Run. He looks really good in the Rockies jersey. best Canadian batter of all time. I love Larry Walker

Babe wake up no more fielders posted for the second time this month

Wild that Dante Bichette never got a batting title in Colorado. I was thinking he would for sure be on this list. Great videos, man! I really like your channel.

“Never really stood out among the best…like Pearl Jam” YOU TAKE THAT BACK! TEN IS A MASTERPIECE! And Vs, Vitology, and Yield are solid too!

One of the greatest years of my life was being in Colorado during walkers mvp season. My uncle worked for the lottery so we got to see the Blake street bombers in person often. I think I remember that year walker had 49 home runs and went to the last game where he didn’t play and we were all cheering for him to come out and get 50.

Todd Helton Hall of Fame members unite! I love these videos.

I don't really comment on videos, but this channel is real great.

If you do another video like this, I think it would be worth using rate stats adjusted to the offensive environment of the particular season. It’s tough to compare something like K-Rates from the 1990’s and 2010’s. Completely different eras. Maybe consider K-Rate percentile for the season. For example, Matt Holliday may have struck out 17.7% of the time in 2007 but he had a 107 K%+. (He struck out 7% more often than the average hitter in 2007.) Meanwhile, Michael Cuddyer had a 18.5% K-Rate in 2013 which was worse than Matt Holliday’s 2007 by raw K-rate but was actually better by K%+ (98 vs 107) Love the content! Keep up the great work!

Great work as always

Congrats on the vid sponsor. Keep grinding brother

IIRC OPS+ is park adjusted (among other things) so I think that could have helped. Also I don’t know how to do this but somehow incorporation BABIP since that as you pointed out is a big Coors Effect, well, effect

Holy shit, No More Fielders. After that incredible Chipper Jones video and you’ve already got a great video

Life long Rockies fan who thinks the media over enforces the Coors effect when considering awards (while never mentioning it when our pitches are elite despite it!) Loved the video, and glad Todd finally made the hall! Great content!

Cool! cool! Cool! cool! Cool! cool! Cool! NMF, you've done a fantastic job here with the vid. Congrats on the sponsor!

Todd Helton not winning mvp in 2000 was the greatest award robbery in sports history

good content. Need more rockies truthers out there

Todd Helton's 2000 season is absurd and he didn't get enough love for the MVP back then. Hitting at Coors then was wayyyy more stigmatized than it is now. Combo of the humidor, laypeople understanding plus stats, the baseball intelligentsia coming around to the idea of the Coors hangover effect, etc

Was surprised to hear you say you didn’t like Holliday as a kid. Matt Holliday is a top 5 favorite Cardinal for me of all-time, dude was a crazy hitter, very underrated, and as consistent as they come.
