Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Belts 13th homer in comeback win
Rotowire
Goodman went 2-for-4 with a double, a three-run homer and one walk in Friday's 8-6 win over the Giants.
With the Rockies trailing 6-3 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Goodman came up with two on and swatted a towering three-run homer to tie the game off Giants closer Caleb Kilian. It was Goodman's 13th homer of the season and second in his last three games after he snapped a nine-game drought without a long ball. Goodman doesn't hit for average, but he swings hard and hits the ball hard when he does make contact. He entered Friday in the first percentile in chase rate (44.2 percent) and second percentile in strikeout rate (35.2 percent). On the year, Goodman is slashing .244/.307/.487 with 13 home runs, 23 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 14:75 BB:K across 215 trips to the plate.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Hits 12th homer
Rotowire
Goodman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 15-6 loss to the Dodgers.
Prior to Tuesday, Goodman was 7-for-33 (.212) with no extra-base hits over his last nine games. The catcher ended the power drought with a solo shot in the second inning, which was all the offense the Rockies could muster until they added some window dressing against position player Miguel Rojas in the ninth. Goodman is hitting .242 with a .775 OPS and 12 homers this season, but he's generated just 20 RBI, as the team around him isn't giving him much to bolster run production. He's added 31 runs scored, eight doubles and three stolen bases through 50 contests.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Swipes two bags in win
Rotowire
Goodman went 2-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and one run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Goodman entered this contest 0-for-12 with six strikeouts over his last four games. He did significantly better than that and even made a rare contribution on the basepaths, picking up his second and third steals of the year. This is the first time he's logged more than one theft in a season over his four years in the majors. Goodman is batting .242 with a .776 OPS, 11 home runs, 19 RBI, 29 runs scored and eight doubles over 47 contests this season, though his 35.2 percent strikeout rate is likely to continue to hold back his rate stats.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Big day in Philly
Rotowire
Goodman went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Phillies.
The slugging backstop took Jesus Luzardo deep in the fourth inning as the first seven Colorado batters reached base in the frame. Goodman's long ball was his 10th of the season, and through 35 games he's slashing .254/.324/.530 with 17 RBI and 25 runs, numbers that surprisingly haven't been bolstered by much production at home yet -- eight of his 10 homers have come on the road, and his OPS at Coors Field so far in 2026 is a meager .656, compared to a 1.020 mark closer to sea level.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Launches pair of homers Wednesday
Rotowire
Goodman went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, three RBI and four runs scored in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Reds.
Goodman continued his hot stretch at the plate, launching a solo homer in the fifth inning before adding a two-run shot in the seventh, with both blasts traveling over 410 feet. The catcher has now homered four times in his last five games, going 8-for-21 during that span while consistently driving the ball with authority. On the season, Goodman is slashing .269/.345/.587 with nine home runs, six doubles, 14 RBI and 23 runs scored across 116 plate appearances. His bat has been reliable, but his 38.7 percent strikeout rate remains a concern and ranks the second highest in MLB.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Lifts seventh homer in nightcap
Rotowire
Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-0 win over the Mets in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.
Goodman didn't feature in the matinee game, but he started and caught all nine innings in the nightcap. He also had the game's biggest hit when he took Kodai Senga deep in the third inning. Goodman has gone 12-for-41 (.293) with five homers and six RBI across his last 10 contests. Overall, he's batting .263 with an .887 OPS, seven homers, 11 RBI, 19 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base over 26 contests. The catcher's steady power is nice, though it comes with some risk since he's striking out a 37.8 percent clip this year.
