## Resource

After 13 years of searching for a first baseman to fill Todd Helton’s legendary shoes, the Colorado Rockies may have finally found their answer in rookie TJ Rumfield. With numbers that mirror Helton’s historic 1998 rookie season—including nearly identical WAR and an on-base percentage that ties him as only the second Rockies rookie ever to hit .380+ with over 500 plate appearances—Rumfield is turning heads and possibly rewriting the franchise’s narrative. His plate discipline, contact rate, and elite defensive play echo Helton’s blueprint, making this year’s campaign not just promising, but potentially transformative for the team.
