James Calvin Rollins (born November 27, 1978), nicknamed "J Roll", is an American former professional baseball shortstop, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies (–), Los Angeles Dodgers , and Chicago White Sox
After growing up in Alameda, California, and attending Encinal High School, Rollins was drafted by the Phillies in the second round of the 1996 MLB draft. After spending most of five seasons with Phillies minor league teams, he made his big league debut on September 17, 2000. At the major league level, Rollins quickly earned recognition as an excellent defensive shortstop. In , he became the Phillies' leadoff hitter, a role he retained for almost ten years. Rollins made three All Star Game appearances in his career. While with the Phillies, he compiled a 38 game hitting streak, which spanned the end of the 2005 season and the start of the 2006 season, the longest in team history. Rollins was named the National League (NL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) in , as the Phillies won their division in the first of five consecutive seasons. He was also a key component of the 2008 World Series champion team that defeated the Tampa Bay Rays. Rollins won the Gold Glove Award four times, as well as the Silver Slugger Award, and the Roberto Clemente Award (once each). His mother played competitive fastpitch softball, and he credits the experience with helping him develop a cerebral approach to the game, as well as a passion for the middle infield. His father was a wrestler and weightlifter. Rollins has been described as having "a near photographic memory of games and at bats and pitches". Rollins' brother, Antwon, played with minor league affiliates of the Texas Rangers. His sister, Shay Rollins, was a starter on the University of San Francisco's women's basketball team, and he is the cousin of former MLB player Tony Tarasco. In 1996, Rollins graduated from Encinal High School in Alameda. The American Baseball Coaches Association and Rawlings also named Rollins to their All America Second Team. He committed to play college baseball at Arizona State University on a scholarship, but after "effusive" praise from Phillies' Bay Area scout Bob Poole, the team drafted him in the second round of the 1996 Major League Baseball draft. However, Rollins still earned a promotion to the low A Piedmont Boll Weevils for the 1997 season. The youngest player on the team at age 18, Rollins batted .270/.330/.370 and had 560 at bats, over 100 more than second place Dave Francia. Eaton, Burrell, and Rollins were all promoted to AA Reading together the next year, and Rollins led the team in games and at bats, as well as hits. His 145 hits gave him an average of .273, and led to a late season promotion to Scranton/Wilkes Barre, where he played four games. In 2000, he led Scranton in games played, doubles, and triples, and helped lead the team to the playoffs. Rollins received a September call up to the Phillies. He debuted on September 17 Wearing #29 against the Florida Marlins and had two hits in four at bats in the game, with his first MLB hit being a triple off of Chuck Smith of the Marlins. He batted .321 in 14 games, stealing three bases and batting in five runs. In his rookie season Rollins led the National League in triples and stolen bases, becoming the first rookie to do so since 1951, and led the NL in at bats. In July, he took over from Doug Glanville as the Phillies' leadoff hitter, a role he maintained for nearly a decade. At the conclusion of the season, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum named him the co winner of the Cool Papa Bell Award, given to the stolen bases leader; MLB managers voted him to the Topps Major League Rookie All Star team; and Baseball America named him the fifth best rookie in MLB. Rollins' season was characterized by a strong first half, and a "sophomore jinx" at the plate that plagued him in the second half of the season. For his performance in the early months of the season, he earned his second consecutive selection to the MLB All Star game, in doing so becoming the first Phillie and first MLB shortstop ever to reach the game in each of his first two seasons. However, he began the season slowly, sustaining a hamstring injury in spring training that hindered his progress, and ultimately struggling at the plate early in the season, causing manager Larry Bowa to drop him in the lineup. Throughout the season, he sought to maintain the focus that he admitted to having lost the previous season, and he eventually rebounded to post a "respectable" stat line – a .263/.320/.387 with eight home runs and 62 RBIs, though he stole what at the time was a career low 20 bases. Among his season highlights were a game winning RBI against John Smoltz in June, and stealing his 100th career base in September, both of which occurred in games against the Atlanta Braves. According to one biography of Rollins,
blockquote|In 2004, Jimmy finally became the player the Phillies had been waiting for. He batted .289/.348/.455, scored 119 runs, led the league in triples, cut down considerably on his strikeouts, batted well from both sides of the plate, and hit well in the clutch. The workouts with Gwynn had helped, but it was joining morning sessions with (Bobby) Abreu that enabled him to sting the ball with authority and consistency. Throughout the streak, Rollins aspired to maintain a team first mentality, and noted that he would trade the streak for a playoff berth: "If we lose and I keep the streak, what does that mean? The season is automatically over. The playoffs is everything. That's what we all want." Ultimately, the Phillies missed the playoffs by one game. Overall, Rollins compiled his fourth career quadruple double, tying Johnny Damon for most among active players, and batted .290/.338/.431 with 12 home runs, 54 RBIs, and 41 stolen bases. He extended the streak two games into the season, but it ended on April 6 when he failed to get a hit in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He struggled during the first half of the season, posting a batting average of just .259, but rebounded during the second half, ultimately posting strong cumulative numbers once again. Before spring training, Rollins announced that the Phillies were the "Team to Beat" in the National League East:
The Mets had a chance to win the World Series last year. Last year is over. I think we are the team to beat in the NL East, finally. But, that's only on paper.|Jimmy Rollins, January 23, 2007|source=
It became a sports media sensation, especially given that the New York Mets had won the division in 2006 with relative ease. The claim was widely reported, often without the second part of the quote ("only on paper"). USA Today columnist Hal Bodley opined, "The Phillies have needed someone to light a fire, especially in April. Rollins' bold, if not arrogant, prediction might just do that." During the first half of the season, it appeared Rollins had spoken prematurely, as the Mets jumped out to an early divisional lead. The triple was Rollins' 10th, which gave him his fifth career "quadruple–double". Rollins was named the National League Player of the Week for August 27 to September 2, 2007. On September 25 against the Atlanta Braves, Rollins hit the home run that completed his 30–30 season. On the last day of the 2007 season, Rollins became the seventh player to collect at least 20 doubles, 20 triples, and 20 home runs in one season when he hit his 20th triple of the year in a 6–1 win over the Washington Nationals that clinched the National League East division championship for the Phillies, which confirmed Rollins' preseason assertion of the Phillies preeminence. For the 2007 season, he batted .296/.344/.531 and led the league in games (162), at bats (716—a major league record), runs (139), and triples (20), was second in hits (212), total bases (380), extra base hits (88), and power speed number (34.6), and had 30 home runs, 94 RBIs, and 41 stolen bases (5th in the league). He achieved the "quadruple double" (double digit doubles, triples, home runs, and stolen bases), becoming the fourth player in history to accomplish the mark. The club advanced to the playoffs for the first time since their 1993 World Series loss; however, they were swept by the Colorado Rockies in the National League Division Series. Rollins was named the National League's Most Valuable Player. He also received the NLBM Oscar Charleston Legacy Award (NL MVP), and won the first of three consecutive Gold Glove Awards, becoming the first Phillies shortstop to win a Gold Glove since Larry Bowa in 1978. Rollins also set a single season MLB record for plate appearances with 778.
Джеймс Кальвин Роллинс (1978 жылдың 27 қарашасында туған), «J Roll» деген лақап атымен танымал, – американдық бұрынғы кәсіби бейсбол шортстопы, MLB-да «Филадельфия Филлис», «Лос-Анджелес Доджерс» және «Чикаго Уайт Сокс» командаларында ойнаған. Калифорния штатының Аламеда қаласында өскен және Энцинал орта мектебін бітірген Роллинс 1996 жылғы MLB драфтының екінші раундында «Филлис» командасымен таңдалды. «Филлис» командасының кіші лигасындағы бес маусымның көп бөлігін өткізгеннен кейін, ол 2000 жылдың 17 қыркүйегінде үлкен лигада дебют жасады. Үлкен лига деңгейінде Роллинс өте жақсы қорғаныспен ойнайтын шортстоп ретінде танылды. 2007 жылы ол «Филлис» командасының жетекші соққышы болды және бұл рөлді шамамен он жыл сақтап қалды. Роллинс мансабында үш рет All-Star Game-ге қатысты. «Филлис» командасымен бірге ол 38 ойындық соққы сериясын жасады, ол 2005 жылғы маусымның соңы мен 2006 жылғы маусымның басына дейін созылды – бұл команда тарихындағы ең ұзын серия. Роллинс Ұлттық лиганың ең құнды ойыншысы (MVP) атанды, ал «Филлис» командасы бес маусымның біріншісінде өз дивизионында жеңіске жетті. Ол 2008 жылы «Тампа Бэй Рейс» командасын жеңген әлем чемпионаттарының құрамында болды. Роллинс төрт рет «Алтын қолғап» сыйлығын, сондай-ақ «Күміс соққы» сыйлығы мен Роберто Клементе сыйлығын (әрқайсысы бір рет) жеңіп алды. Оның анасы бәсекеге қабілетті жылдам софтболмен ойнаған, ал ол бұл тәжірибені ойынға салмақты көзқарас қалыптастыруға және ортаңғы алаңға деген құштарлықты дамытуға көмектескенін айтады. Оның әкесі күресші және ауыр атлет болған. Роллинс ойындарды, соққыларды және питчингтерді жақсы есте сақтайтыны айтылады. Роллинстің ағасы Антвон «Техас Рейнджерс» командасының кіші лигасында ойнады. Оның әпкесі Шей Роллинс Сан-Франциско университетінің әйелдер баскетбол командасының негізгі ойыншысы болды, ал ол бұрынғы MLB ойыншысы Тони Тарасконың туысы. 1996 жылы Роллинс Аламедадағы Энцинал орта мектебін бітірді. Американдық бейсбол жаттықтырушылар қауымдастығы мен Rawlings Роллинсті All-America екінші командасына қосты. Ол стипендия бойынша Аризона мемлекеттік университетінде колледж бейсболын ойнауға ниеттенген, бірақ «Филлис» командасының Бей-Аймақ скауты Боб Пулдің жоғары бағасынан кейін команда оны 1996 жылғы MLB драфтының екінші раундында таңдады. Дегенмен, Роллинс 1997 жылғы маусымда төменгі A лигасындағы «Пьедмонт Болл Уивлс» командасына қосылды. Командадағы ең жас ойыншы 18 жасында Роллинс .270/.330/.370 көрсеткішпен ойнады және 560 соққы жасады, бұл екінші орын алған Дейв Франсиядан 100-ден астам соққыға басым болды. Итон, Бэррелл және Роллинс келесі жылы бірге AA лигасындағы «Рединг» командасына көтерілді, ал Роллинс команданы ойындар мен соққылар саны бойынша жетектеді. Оның 145 соққысы орташа көрсеткішін .273-ке жеткізді және маусым соңында «Скрантон/Уилкс-Барре» командасына көтерілуіне әкелді, онда ол төрт ойын өткізді. 2000 жылы ол «Скрантон» командасындағы ойындар, қос және үш еселенген соққылар саны бойынша көш бастады және команданың плей-оффқа өтуіне көмектесті. Роллинс қыркүйек айында «Филлис» командасына шақырылды. Ол 17 қыркүйекте «Флорида Марлинс» командасына қарсы #29 нөмірімен дебют жасады және ойынның төрт соққысында екі соққы жасады, ал оның алғашқы MLB соққысы «Марлинс» командасының Чак Смиттен жасаған үш еселенген соққы болды. Ол 14 ойында .321 орташа көрсеткішпен ойнады, үш база ұрлады және бес ұпай жинады. Жаңашыл маусымында Роллинс Ұлттық лигасында үш еселенген соққылар мен ұрланған базалар бойынша көш бастады, бұл 1951 жылдан бері бірінші жаңашыл үшін рекордты көрсеткіш болды, сондай-ақ ол NL-де соққылар саны бойынша көш бастады. Шілде айында ол Дуг Гланвилльден кейін «Филлис» командасының жетекші соққышы болды және бұл рөлді шамамен он жыл сақтап қалды. Маусым соңында Негро лигасы бейсболы мұражайы оны ұрланған базалардың көшбасшысына берілетін Cool Papa Bell сыйлығының тең жеңімпазы деп атады, MLB менеджерлері оны Topps Major League Rookie All-Star командасына сайлады, ал Baseball America оны MLB-дегі бесінші ең жақсы жаңадан шыққан ойыншы деп атады. Роллинстің маусымы бірінші жартысындағы күшті өнерпаздықпен және екінші жартысында оны мазалаған «софоморлық зұлымдықпен» сипатталды. Маусымның алғашқы айларында көрсеткен өнері үшін ол MLB All-Star ойынына екінші рет қатарынан шақырылды, осылайша ол алғашқы екі маусымының әрқайсысында ойынға жеткен алғашқы «Филлис» және MLB шортстопы болды. Алайда, ол маусымды баяу бастады, көктемгі жаттығуларда жарақат алды, бұл оның жетістіктеріне кедергі келтірді, және ақыр соңында маусымның басында соққы беруде қиындықтарға тап болды, бұл менеджер Ларри Боуаны оны құрамнан шығаруға мәжбүр етті. Маусым бойы ол алдыңғы маусымда жоғалтып алған назарды сақтауға тырысты және ақыр соңында .263/.320/.387 көрсеткішпен, сегіз жүйелік соққымен және 62 RBI-мен «құрметті» статистикалық көрсеткіштерді жасады, бірақ ол сол кезде карьералық ең төмен көрсеткіш – 20 база ұрлады. Маусымның жарқын сәттерінің бірі – маусым айында Джон Смолтқа қарсы жеңіске жеткізген соққысы және қыркүйек айында 100-ші карьералық базаны ұрлауы, екеуі де «Атланта Брэйвз» командасына қарсы өткен ойындарда болды.

«2004 жылы Джимми, со наконец, «Филлис» командасы күткен ойыншыға айналды. Ол .289/.348/.455 көрсеткішпен ойнады, 119 ұпай жинады, үш еселенген соққылар бойынша лигада көш бастады, соққыларын азайтып, екі жақтан да жақсы соқты және шешуші сәттерде жақсы ойнады. Гвиннбен жасаған жаттығулар көмектесті, бірақ (Бобби) Абреумен таңғы жаттығуларға қатысқаннан кейін ол дұрыс және тұрақты түрде соққы бере бастады. Серия бойы Роллинс командалық рухта болуға ұмтылды және серияны плей-оффқа өту үшін сақтайтынын айтты: «Егер біз жеңіліп, мен серияны сақтайтын болсам, бұл нені білдіреді? Маусым автоматты түрде аяқталады. Плей-офф – бәрі. Біздің бәріміз осыны қалаймыз». Алайда, «Филлис» командасы плей-оффқа бір ойынмен жетпеді. Жалпы алғанда, Роллинс мансабында төртінші «квадрупл-даблды» жасады, бұл қазіргі ойыншылар арасында Джонни Дамонмен тең есті, және .290/.338/.431 көрсеткішпен, 12 жүйелік соққымен, 54 RBI және 41 ұрланған базамен ойнады. Ол серияны маусымның екі ойынына ұзартты, бірақ 6 сәуірде «Сент-Луис Кардиналс» командасына қарсы өткен ойында соққы жасай алмағаннан кейін серия аяқталды. Маусымның бірінші жартысында ол қиындыққа тап болды, орташа көрсеткіші тек .259 болды, бірақ екінші жартысында жақсарып, ақырында тағы да күшті жиынтық көрсеткіштер жасады.

He debuted on September 17 Wearing #29 against the Florida Marlins and had two hits in four at bats in the game, with his first MLB hit being a triple off of Chuck Smith of the Marlins. He batted .321 in 14 games, stealing three bases and batting in five runs. In his rookie season Rollins led the National League in triples and stolen bases, becoming the first rookie to do so since 1951, and led the NL in at bats. In July, he took over from Doug Glanville as the Phillies' leadoff hitter, a role he maintained for nearly a decade. At the conclusion of the season, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum named him the co winner of the Cool Papa Bell Award, given to the stolen bases leader; MLB managers voted him to the Topps Major League Rookie All Star team; and Baseball America named him the fifth best rookie in MLB. Rollins' season was characterized by a strong first half, and a "sophomore jinx" at the plate that plagued him in the second half of the season. For his performance in the early months of the season, he earned his second consecutive selection to the MLB All Star game, in doing so becoming the first Phillie and first MLB shortstop ever to reach the game in each of his first two seasons. However, he began the season slowly, sustaining a hamstring injury in spring training that hindered his progress, and ultimately struggling at the plate early in the season, causing manager Larry Bowa to drop him in the lineup. Throughout the season, he sought to maintain the focus that he admitted to having lost the previous season, and he eventually rebounded to post a "respectable" stat line – a .263/.320/.387 with eight home runs and 62 RBIs, though he stole what at the time was a career low 20 bases. Among his season highlights were a game winning RBI against John Smoltz in June, and stealing his 100th career base in September, both of which occurred in games against the Atlanta Braves. According to one biography of Rollins,

For the 2007 season, he batted .296/.344/.531 and led the league in games (162), at bats (716—a major league record), runs (139), and triples (20), was second in hits (212), total bases (380), extra base hits (88), and power speed number (34.6), and had 30 home runs, 94 RBIs, and 41 stolen bases (5th in the league).

James Calvin Rollins (born November 27, 1978), nicknamed "J Roll", is an American former professional baseball shortstop, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies (–), Los Angeles Dodgers , and Chicago White Sox
After growing up in Alameda, California, and attending Encinal High School, Rollins was drafted by the Phillies in the second round of the 1996 MLB draft. After spending most of five seasons with Phillies minor league teams, he made his big league debut on September 17, 2000. At the major league level, Rollins quickly earned recognition as an excellent defensive shortstop. In , he became the Phillies' leadoff hitter, a role he retained for almost ten years. Rollins made three All Star Game appearances in his career. While with the Phillies, he compiled a 38 game hitting streak, which spanned the end of the 2005 season and the start of the 2006 season, the longest in team history. Rollins was named the National League (NL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) in , as the Phillies won their division in the first of five consecutive seasons. He was also a key component of the 2008 World Series champion team that defeated the Tampa Bay Rays. Rollins won the Gold Glove Award four times, as well as the Silver Slugger Award, and the Roberto Clemente Award (once each). His mother played competitive fastpitch softball, and he credits the experience with helping him develop a cerebral approach to the game, as well as a passion for the middle infield. His father was a wrestler and weightlifter. Rollins has been described as having "a near photographic memory of games and at bats and pitches". Rollins' brother, Antwon, played with minor league affiliates of the Texas Rangers. His sister, Shay Rollins, was a starter on the University of San Francisco's women's basketball team, and he is the cousin of former MLB player Tony Tarasco. In 1996, Rollins graduated from Encinal High School in Alameda. The American Baseball Coaches Association and Rawlings also named Rollins to their All America Second Team. He committed to play college baseball at Arizona State University on a scholarship, but after "effusive" praise from Phillies' Bay Area scout Bob Poole, the team drafted him in the second round of the 1996 Major League Baseball draft. However, Rollins still earned a promotion to the low A Piedmont Boll Weevils for the 1997 season. The youngest player on the team at age 18, Rollins batted .270/.330/.370 and had 560 at bats, over 100 more than second place Dave Francia. Eaton, Burrell, and Rollins were all promoted to AA Reading together the next year, and Rollins led the team in games and at bats, as well as hits. His 145 hits gave him an average of .273, and led to a late season promotion to Scranton/Wilkes Barre, where he played four games.

The claim was widely reported, often without the second part of the quote ("only on paper"). USA Today columnist Hal Bodley opined, "The Phillies have needed someone to light a fire, especially in April. Rollins' bold, if not arrogant, prediction might just do that." During the first half of the season, it appeared Rollins had spoken prematurely, as the Mets jumped out to an early divisional lead. The triple was Rollins' 10th, which gave him his fifth career "quadruple–double". Rollins was named the National League Player of the Week for August 27 to September 2, 2007. On September 25 against the Atlanta Braves, Rollins hit the home run that completed his 30–30 season. On the last day of the 2007 season, Rollins became the seventh player to collect at least 20 doubles, 20 triples, and 20 home runs in one season when he hit his 20th triple of the year in a 6–1 win over the Washington Nationals that clinched the National League East division championship for the Phillies, which confirmed Rollins' preseason assertion of the Phillies preeminence. For the 2007 season, he batted .296/.344/.531 and led the league in games (162), at bats (716—a major league record), runs (139), and triples (20), was second in hits (212), total bases (380), extra base hits (88), and power speed number (34.6), and had 30 home runs, 94 RBIs, and 41 stolen bases (5th in the league). He achieved the "quadruple double" (double digit doubles, triples, home runs, and stolen bases), becoming the fourth player in history to accomplish the mark. The club advanced to the playoffs for the first time since their 1993 World Series loss; however, they were swept by the Colorado Rockies in the National League Division Series. Rollins was named the National League's Most Valuable Player. He also received the NLBM Oscar Charleston Legacy Award (NL MVP), and won the first of three consecutive Gold Glove Awards, becoming the first Phillies shortstop to win a Gold Glove since Larry Bowa in 1978. Rollins also set a single season MLB record for plate appearances with 778.
2008-2011 жылдар
2007 жылғы көктемгі жаттығудан өзгеше, Роллинс келесі маусымға қатысты ешқандай кепілдік бермеді, бірақ бұл «Филадельфия» клубының 2008 жылғы маусымға сенімсіздігін білдірмейді. «Метс» клубы Йохан Сантананы сатып алған және Карлос Белтран дивизионды жеңіп алуге «2007 жылғы Роллинс сияқты» кепілдік бергеніне қарамастан, «Филадельфия» клубы сенімді болды. Роллинс 2009 жылды АҚШ құрамасының құрамында 2009 жылғы Әлемдік бейсбол классигіне (WBC) қатысып бастады, ол .417 көрсеткішпен ойнады және турнирдің үздік ойыншылары тізіміне енді. 2008 жылы ұрланған базалар бойынша жеке рекордты орнатып, ол маусымның алғашқы 17 ойынында бірде-бір база ұрламады, бұл 2004 жылдан бергі маусымды бастау үшін ең ұзақ үзіліс болды. 21 мамырда ол «Цинциннати Редс» клубына қарсы өткен ойында 1500-ші соққысын тіркеді. Маусымның екінші жартысында ол өзін жақсартты, 3 шілдеден жыл соңына дейін .288 көрсеткішпен ойнады. Жалпы, ол NL бойынша 672 соққымен көшбасшы болды, екі рет соққы (43) және ұрланған база (31) бойынша төртінші орын алды, ал ұпайлар бойынша оныншы (100) орынға ие болды. Сонымен қатар, оның соққы орташасы .250, 21 хоум-ран (оның бесеуі жетекші соққы болды, мансабындағы ең көп көрсеткіш) және 77 RBI болды. Ол сонымен қатар шортстоптер арасындағы Ұлттық лиганың «Алтын қолғап» сыйлығын жеңіп алды. Плей-оффта ол «Филадельфия» клубына 2009 жылғы Әлемдік серияға өтуге көмектесті, NLCS төртінші ойынында жеңіске әкелетін соққыны жасады. Роллинстің 2010 жылғы маусымы жарақаттармен толды; ол барлығы 74 ойынды өткізіп алды, тек 88 ойында ғана қатысты, бұл оның мансабындағы ең төменгі көрсеткіш. Ол 13 сәуір – 16 мамыр және 22 мамыр – 21 маусым аралығында жарақат алды; Уилсон Вальдес оның резервтік ойыншысы болды. 3 шілдеде ол «Питтсбург Пайрэтс» клубына қарсы өткен ойында мансабындағы 150-ші хоум-ранын соқты, ал 1 қазанда «Атланта Брэйвс» клубына қарсы өткен ойында мансабындағы үшінші гранд-слэмін соқты. 2011 жыл Роллинс үшін келісімшарт жылы болды, және оның өнімділігі жақсарды, өйткені ол соққы орташасын, хоум-рандар мен RBI санын арттырды. Ол плей-оффқа уақытында оралды және 2011 жылғы NLDS-де бірнеше «Филадельфия» клубының рекордтарын жаңартты, соның ішінде соққылар (9), екі рет соққы (4) және бірнеше соққы соққан ойындар (4). Жалпы, ол .268 соққы орташасымен 16 хоум-ран және 63 RBI жинады. 2011 жылдың 17 желтоқсанында Роллинс төртінші жылға тағы 11 миллион долларлық опциямен үш жылдық, 33 миллион долларлық келісімге қол қойды. Опция 2013-2014 жылдары ол 1100 соққы жасаған кезде күшке енді.
2012-2014 жылдар
2012 жылы Роллинс «Филлис» командасының жалпы «орташалығын» .250 соққы пайызымен, 23 хоум-ранмен және 68 RBI көрсеткішімен бейнеледі. Маусымның басында нашар ойнады, маусым басындағы 136-шы соққысына дейін бірде-бір хоум-ран соқпады, бұл маусымның басында хоум-ран соғу үшін екінші ең ұзақ уақыт болды. Бірінші қызының дүниеге келуіне байланысты 21-23 мамыр аралығында үш ойынға қатыса алмады. 31 шілдеде мансабындағы төртінші хоум-ранды парк ішінде соқты, бұл көрсеткіш бойынша белсенді ойыншылардың арасында көшбасшы болды. «Филлис» командасына маусым ашылу күніне үлгерді және маусым ашылу күнінде қатарынан 13-інші рет бастапқы құрамда шықты. Жалпы, ол NL лигасында өткізілген ойындар саны бойынша (160 ойын) бесінші орынды бөлісті, ал командада 600 соққы, 151 соққы, 36 дабл және 59 уокта команданы басты. Маусым ішінде бірнеше мансаптық жетістіктерге қол жеткізді, соның ішінде 800-ші RBI (22 сәуірде), 433-ші дабл (15 мамырда Эд Делахантидің рекордын бұзып), және мансабындағы 45-ші лид-офф хоум-ран (MLB тарихында төртінші орын; 20 шілдеде соқты). Ол «қатты күресті» және ақырында .252 соққы пайызымен, алты хоум-ранмен және 39 RBI көрсеткішімен аяқтады. Маусымды «Техас Рейнджерс» командасына қарсы гранд-слэмін соғу арқылы ашты, бұл оның мансабындағы 200-ші хоум-раны болды. Екі ойыннан кейін Роллинс әйелінің екінші баласы дүниеге келгендіктен, әкелік демалысқа кетіп, команданы тастап кетті. 14 маусымда Роллинс оң алаңға бір соққы соғып, 2235-ші соққысын жасады, осымен Майк Шмидттен асып, «Филлис» командасының барлық уақыттағы ең көп соққы соққан ойыншысы атанды. Ойын тоқтатылды, Шмидт және «Филлис» командасының қалған бөлігі Роллинсті бірінші базада құттықтады. Маусым аяқталғаннан кейін Роллинс пен жақында зейнеткерлікке шыққан «Чикаго Уайт Сокс» командасының капитаны Пол Конерко Роберто Клементе сыйлығының алғашқы бірлескен иегерлері атанды.
Лос-Анджелес Доджерс
2014 жылдың 19 желтоқсанында Роллинс Том Уиндл мен Зак Эфлинге айырбасталды және «Лос-Анджелес Доджерс» клубына өтті. Роллинс сауда-саттыққа тыйым салатын бапты бұзды және жаңа командада жетекші рөл атқаруға ниеттенгенін мәлімдеді. Роллинс 2015 жылдың 6 сәуірінде «Сан-Диего Падрес» командасына қарсы өткізген ойынында «Доджерс» сапындағы тұңғыш ойынын ойнады, Шон Келлиден 3 ұпайлық хоум-ран соғып, «Доджерс» командасына «Падрес» командасымен 6–3 есебімен жеңіс сыйлады. «Доджерс» сапында ол шабуылда қиындыққа тап болды, мансабындағы ең төменгі көрсеткіш – .224 (барлық білікті үлкен лига ойыншылары арасындағы ең төменгі орташа көрсеткіш) / .285/.358 нәтижесін көрсетіп, 13 хоум-ран мен 41 RBI иеленді. Ол сондай-ақ 12 база ұрлады. Қыркүйек айында ол жаңадан келген Кори Сигерге негізгі құрамдағы орнын жоғалтты. Маусымның соңғы ойынында бапкер Дон Маттингли Роллинсті 2015 жылғы ойыншы-бапкер деп тағайындады.
Чикагоның "Ақ сокс" клубы
2016 жылдың 22 ақпанында Роллинс Чикаго "Уайт Сокс" клубымен екінші лига келісімшартына қол қойды, сонымен қатар үлкен лиганың көктемгі жаттығуларына шақырылды. Ол Тайлер Саладиномен қысқа тоғызыншы позициясы үшін басты құрамға кіру үшін бәсекелесті. Көктемгі жаттығулар аяқталған соң, команда Роллинстің маусымның бірінші ойынында қысқа тоғызыншы позицияда ойнайтынын жариялады. Роллинстің бұрынғы 11 нөмірі Луис Апарисионың құрметіне зейнеткерлікке шығарылғандықтан, Роллинс "Уайт Сокс" сапында 7 нөмірін таңдады, ал келесі жылы осы нөмірді Роллинстің орнын басатын Тим Андерсон киді. Роллинс 41 ойында .221/.295/.329 көрсеткішін тіркеп, 2 хоум-ран соғып, 5 база ұрлады.
Сан-Франциско гиганттары
2016 жылдың 19 желтоқсанында Роллинс Сан-Франциско "Гигантс" командасымен екінші лига келісімшартына қол қойды, және көктемгі жаттығуларға шақырылды. Ол 2017 жылдың 31 наурызында босатылды.
Ойын-сауық мансабынан кейін
2019 жылы Роллинс «Филлиз» командасына екі түрлі қызметпен қайта келді: қаңтарда команданың арнайы кеңесшісі ретінде, ал наурыз айында олардың телеарнасындағы комментатор ретінде. 2019 жылдың 4 мамырында «Citizens Bank Park» стадионында Роллинстің зейнетке шығу салтанаты өтті. «Филлиз» командасы Роллинстің 11-нөмірі бар формасын зейнеткерлікке шығармады, бірақ ол осы форманы кигеннен кейін ешкімге қайта берілген жоқ. 2019 жылдан бері командаға кеңесші болып жұмыс істегеннен соң, «Филлиз» 2022 жылдың 31 наурызында Роллинсті бейсбол операцияларының президентіне арнайы кеңесші етіп тағайындады.
Мансап статистикасы
Роллинс зейнетке шыққан кезде шортстоп позициясында 2000 ойын өткізген 19 ойыншының бірі болды және 200 хоум-ран мен 400 база ұрлаған жалғыз шортстоп еді. Осының салдарынан, ол допқа тиюде қиналды, көп соққыға ұшырады және сирек жүрді. Жалпы алғанда, ол "5 фут 8 бойымен өзінің кішкентай екенін қабылдауға қиналды", бұл оның күшпен соққы етуге, допты тартып соғуға және алаңның барлық бөлігін пайдаланудың орнына, тек бір жаққа соғуға бейімдеді. Роллинс – «Филлис» командасы тарихындағы ең көп соққы алған ойыншы және команда тарихындағы екінші ең көп база ұрлаған ойыншы.
Қорғау
"Тамаша қорғаныс шортстопы" Роллинс төрт Алтын қолғап жүлдесін жеңіп алды, ал кем дегенде 10 маусым ойнаған шортстоптардың арасында Омар Висквел ғана одан жақсы алаңға шығару көрсеткішіне ие. Lindy's Sports журналы 2011 жылғы маусым алдында Роллинстің "жұмсақ қолдары, тамаша ептілігі және сол және оң жаққа қарай кең ауқымы бар" жоғарғы деңгейдегі шортстоп екенін айтты және оның күшті лақтыру қабілетін, әсіресе қиын жағдайда (тесіктен) мақтады.
Атак-даңқ залы
2021 жылдың 22 қарашасында жарияланған Ұлттық бейсбол даңқы залының тізіміне Роллинс енгізілді. Ол бірінші рет дауыс беруге қабілетті болған жылы бюллетеньдердің 9,4%-ынан дауыс алды, бірақ даңқ залына сайлану үшін жеткіліксіз болды. 2023 жылы бұл көрсеткіш 12,9%-ға өсті.
Жеке өмір
Роллинс Флорида штатының Тампа аймағында тұрады және Джохари Смитқа үйленген. Олар 2010 жылдың 23 қаңтарында Кайман аралдарында неке қиды. 2012 жылдың 21 мамырында Джохари олардың алғашқы қызы Камрин Дрю Роллинсті дүниеге әкелді. Олардың екінші қызы Логан Алия 2014 жылдың сәуір айының басында дүниеге келді. «Филлис» командасы үшін ойнаған кезде Роллинс Нью-Джерси штатының Вулвич қалашығында тұрды. Роллинстің туысы Осирис Джонсон да бейсболшы, ол 2018 жылғы драфта «Майами Марлинс» командасының екінші турында 37-ші нөмірмен таңдалды. Роллинс және оның әйелі Джохари белсенді қайырымдастықпен айналысады, бірнеше қайырымдылық жобаларына қатысты, соның ішінде Нью-Джерси штатының Вулвич қалашығында орналасқан Жохари мен Джимми Роллинс атындағы Жануарларды оңалту орталығын құрды, ол жануарларға түрлі медициналық оңалту қызметтерін көрсетеді, сондай-ақ Артирит қорына көмектесу үшін жыл сайынғы BaseBOWL қайырымдылық боулинг турнирін өткізеді. Роллинс саяси өмірге де белсенді қатысады және 2008 жылғы президенттік сайлауда Барак Обаманы қолдады. 2020 жылы ол Берни Сандерсті президенттікке қолдады. Роллинс NRG Esports киберспорт командасына инвестиция салады.
