- The Colorado Rockies have several position battles to watch this spring, particularly at first base where Blaine Crim, Troy Johnston, Charlie Condon, and others are competing for the starting job.
- The outfield appears set with Jordan Beck, Brenton Doyle, and a combination of Mickey Moniak and Jake McCarthy, but Zac Veen is looking to force his way back onto the roster after a tough 2025 season.
- The Rockies' offense has struggled in recent years, and hitting coach Brett Pill has his work cut out to get the team's hitters more disciplined and productive.
- Stolen bases and baserunning could be an emphasis for new manager Warren Schaeffer, as the Rockies have a fast team but haven't capitalized on that asset in the past.
- Rebound candidates like Ezequiel Tovar, Brenton Doyle, Willi Castro, Edouard Julien, and Jake McCarthy will be players to watch as the Rockies look to improve their lineup in 2026.
