The Rockies have agreed to a one-year contract with Jacob Stallings that covers the 2025 season and includes a mutual option for 2026.

Stallings, 34, returns to the Rockies for a second season after setting full-season career-highs in batting (.263), OBP (.357), slugging (.453), OPS (.810) and home runs (nine) in his first year with the club. In 2024, he also set a career high with 12 catcher caught stealings, good for the 12th-most among NL catchers.

The veteran catcher has played in 534 career games across nine seasons with the Pirates (2016-21), Marlins (2022-23) and Rockies, posting a career slash line of .239/.319/.353 with 78 doubles, two triples, 33 home runs and 184 RBIs. In 2021, he was awarded the National League Rawlings Gold Glove Award at catcher, leading the position with 21 defensive runs saved and a 95.5% pitch block rate while not allowing a passed ball.

Additionally, he holds the Major League record of 247 games at catcher without allowing a passed ball, spanning from Aug. 18, 2020-April 4, 2023. In his career behind the plate, he holds a .993 fielding percentage in 4,024 innings caught while catching 71 of 338 attempted base stealers (21.0 CS%).

The Rockies have a full 40-man roster.
