The Colt 45's had by far and away the best pitching in the league, and won the regular season. So what happened in the playoffs? They couldn't hit their way out of a paper bag. Maddux led the charge and the best bullpen ever assembled mopped everything up. The Colts 1830 Save Points divided by 15 equals 122 Saves in 148 opportunites for 350 Net Pen Pts. 1620 erpts (pronounced Earps with a silents T) was a results of 629 earned runs allowed in 1430 innings for a 3.95 team ERA. 82 wins and just 60 losses, while only 4th best in the league, amassed another 220 points.

Todd Helton led the charge with 604 points, 30 more than runner up Jeff Bagwell. First basemen took the top 5 spots, and league MVP Alex Rodriguez finished 6th. A.Rod, because of his position as a shortstop, and because he was so much better than the average SS in league, was awarded MVP.
