(Duane Kuiper, Charlie Jones) (Wayne Hagin, Jeff Kingery) KCUV (Francisco Gomez) |}} The 1993 Colorado Rockies season was the inaugural season for the expansion team in Major League Baseball (MLB) located in Denver, Colorado, which were established as a member of the National League (NL), competing in the NL West division, and based at Mile High Stadium. The first manager named for the Rockies was Don Baylor.
First baseman Andrés Galarraga represented the Rockies at the MLB All-Star Game, held at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Colorado finished with a record of 67–95, in sixth place and 37 games behind the NL West division-champion and NL pennant-winning Atlanta Braves, ahead of only the San Diego Padres. At Mile High Stadium, better known as the home of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL), the Rockies sold 4,483,350 tickets to their home games, setting the Major League record for attendance, which still stands .
Galarraga concluded the season winning the NL batting title with a .370 batting average, also leading the major leagues. Shortstop Vinny Castilla was the last player from the Rockies' inaugural season to retire, playing his last game at the end of 2006.

Expansion draft
As opposed to previous expansion drafts such as the 1961 draft, players from both leagues were available to the expansion clubs. Each existing club could protect fifteen players on their roster from being drafted and only one player could be drafted from each team in the first round. Then for each additional round National League teams could protect an additional 3 players and American League teams could protect 4 more. All unprotected major and minor League players were eligible except those chosen in the amateur drafts of 1991 or 1992 and players who were 18 or younger when signed in 1990.
