BiographyAs a member of the Colorado Rockies, Jason posted his most impressive numbers in the 2002 season when he won the Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award in the National League, beating out Brad Wilkerson and Austin Kearns. The fact that half of his games were pitched at Coors Field in Denver (a difficult park for pitchers) made the feat that much more remarkable.[citation needed] In his major league debut, Jennings hit a home run and tossed a complete game shutout, becoming one of the few major leaguers to accomplish that feat.[citation needed]
From 2003 to 2005, Jennings had three losing seasons and posted an ERA above 5 each year. In 2006, Jennings pitched much better, ending the season with a 3.78 ERA, but had only a 9-13 record due to a lack of run support that ranked near the bottom of the league. From May 29th to the end of the season, Jason Jennings had a 3.17 ERA, which was 4th in the Majors and 2nd in the NL behind Roy Oswalt. He also finished with over 200 innings pitched. He ended his career with the Rockies as the all time winningest pitcher. Jason Jennings Profile.

On July 29, 2007, Jennings allowed 11 runs to the San Diego Padres in the top of the first inning. The Padres went on to defeat the Astros, 18-11.
