Rockies Finish 43-119 With Historic Run Deficit

The Colorado Rockies finished the 2025 season 43-119, the worst record in franchise history and the poorest mark in Major League Baseball this year. Their run differential was the worst in the modern era and the most lopsided since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders. Pitching was the primary culprit: the staff posted a 5.99 ERA while allowing 1,007 runs, 246 home runs and an opposing batting average of .297. Manager Bud Black was dismissed in early May after a 7-33 start, and the club suffered its third straight 100-loss season. There were small late-season positives, including improved stretches from Kyle Freeland and Tanner Gordon, but the overall campaign is broadly regarded as one of the most historically poor in modern baseball.
