The most impressive metric is the fact that the left-hander hasn't allowed a home run at Coors Field since returning. If he can keep this up, he'll have a good chance of garnering a larger role in the Rockies pitching staff going forward into next season, especially if his success transfers into his starts.","date":"Thu Sep 8"},"fullName":"Chris Rusin","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Thanks only to his health in 2015, Rusin was a member of the Rockies rotation for most of the season. Despite his consistent spot in the rotation, the left-hander didn't put up any decent numbers. At season's end, his ERA sat at 5.33, his WHIP was a bloated 1.60 and he only struck out batters at a clip of 5.9 K/9. His .346 BABIP is also very troubling considering the low amount of strikeouts. There is a silver lining, though, as the 29-year-old had a 2.31 groundball/flyball ratio, which is necessary to have even remote success at Coors Field. Rusin will likely compete for the fifth starter spot in 2016, although he may have trouble getting consistent starts if the Rockies choose to test out their up-and-coming arms in the big leagues.","seasonId":2016,"date":"Mon Mar 7"},"playerRater30DAY":2.4,"playerRater15DAY":3,"positionRank":109}
