Rockies' Hunter Goodman Primed to Challenge Mets at Coors Field

First Inning


As the Rockies gear up to face the Mets at Coors Field, all eyes will be on Hunter Goodman, the standout catcher for the Rockies. Over the past three games, Goodman has been a beacon of consistency and power for the team. His batting average of .600, coupled with an on-base percentage of .6 and an impressive OPS of 2.4, highlights his offensive prowess. In particular, his performance in the game against the Marlins on June 2nd was exceptional, where he went 3-for-5 with three runs scored. This level of performance is crucial as it sets a strong foundation for the Rockies' offense right from the first inning.

On the other side, Pete Alonso from the Mets has also shown his mettle with a batting average of .400 and an OPS of 1.0 over recent games. His ability to drive in runs will be pivotal for the Mets as they look to counter Goodman's impact early in the game.


Middle Innings


As we move into the middle innings, pitching becomes a critical factor. For the Rockies, Kyle Freeland stands out with a commendable ERA of 0.0 and WHIP of 0.6316 in his recent outing against Miami on June 4th. His ability to keep hitters off balance will be essential in maintaining any lead that Goodman and company might establish early on.

The Mets' bullpen is not without its stars either; Edwin Díaz has been lights out with an ERA of 0.0 and a K/9 rate of 27 over his last few appearances. His presence in relief could prove decisive if this game turns into a pitching duel during these crucial middle innings.


Late Innings


In late innings, strategic plays often determine outcomes as fatigue sets in for both pitchers and batters alike. Ryan McMahon's fielding at third base for Colorado could play a significant role here; despite some struggles at bat recently (.000 average), his defensive skills remain sharp with a perfect fielding percentage across multiple games.

For New York’s lineup during these tense moments towards closing stages – Francisco Lindor’s clutch hitting cannot be overlooked either given how he delivered under pressure previously against Dodgers by maintaining solid averages while driving key plays home when needed most.
