Zac Veen Pushing Hard For A Roster Spot
26 mins agoThe Denver Post's Patrick Saunders writes that Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen, the ninth overall pick in 2020, is pushing hard for an Opening Day roster spot this spring. Entering Wednesday's action, he was batting .318 with a .991 OPS, two home runs, four doubles and 11 RBI while also leading the Cactus League with seven steals. The 23-year-old plays with energy and could be a needed spark, but it remains to be seen if Veen can be a viable backup in center field to Brenton Doyle. The primary goal is to get Veen consistent at-bats, and even with Sam Hilliard really struggling in camp, the Rockies have decent outfield depth. Both Sean Bouchard and Nick Martini have had strong springs. Injuries have held Veen back in the minors so far in his career, and his elevated strikeout rate could be a problem, but if he does find regular playing time on the big-league squad, he could become fantasy relevant in a hurry.
