Rockies players face their own set of challenges hitting at Coors Field
The usage and pitch mix poses an interesting challenge, and Rockies pitchers do it, too. For example, in his start on Friday at Dodger Stadium, Kyle Freeland threw five four-seam fastballs that averaged 90.5 MPH. In his previous start against the Chicago Cubs at Coors Field last Saturday, Freeland used the same four-seamer just one time (92.5 MPH).
