Mickey Moniak Projected as Primary DH for Colorado Rockies

Mickey Moniak is slated to be the Colorado Rockies' primary designated hitter in 2026 after a career-best offensive season in 2025. Moniak is hitting .333 with two home runs and a 1.324 OPS this spring. While he will see time in the outfield, the team aims to utilize his offensive stability at DH to provide structure to the lineup. The Rockies plan to rotate other players like Hunter Goodman, Jordan Beck, and Brenton Doyle through the position to maintain flexibility.
