The Rockies have seen commendable performances from other players as well.

Jesús Sánchez, playing right field for Miami, has been a beacon of consistency with a .800 batting average and an OPS of 2.4 in one game, proving to be a formidable force at the plate. The Marlins' pitching staff includes Calvin Faucher who managed to keep his ERA at 0.0 across appearances, showing promise in bolstering Miami's bullpen.
