Ryan McMahon doesn’t need to break out this season. He needs to even out.
The Rockies’ third baseman has shown tantalizing flashes of what he can do. On April 6 a year ago, for example, he tied the Rockies franchise record with 14 total bases vs. Arizona, going 4-for-6 with a double and three home runs. On July 30 at San Diego, he went 3-for-3, launched his first career grand slam and drew two walks.“You saw what I did the first couple of months, and then I fell off a little bit,” McMahon said Sunday.
McMahon’s role model is former teammate Nolan Arenado, now entering his second season with St. Louis. “We saw Nolan do that for so many years,” McMahon said. “He might have one bad month and that was it. The rest of the time he was the best version of himself.” McMahon, 27, began last season hot, smacking eight home runs in his first 26 games, and logging 13 home runs by the end of May. But he hit just 10 the rest of the way. Plus, like most of his teammates, his home-road splits were extreme. McMahon hit .278 at Coors Field vs. .227 on the road.“With ‘Mac,’ what he did the first six weeks or seven weeks is what we want to see for the whole year,” Black said. “There are still some peaks and valleys for him, there is still some streakiness.
