While the All-Star break means a quiet Tuesday at 20th and Blake, the action is anything but quiet down on the farm. With no major league game on the schedule, the spotlight shifts to the future of the franchise, and several top prospects in Triple-A Albuquerque are making a compelling case that they are ready for their close-up.
During his 13-game hitting streak, Zac Veen is slashing an incredible .444/.483/.722 with three home runs and 13 RBI.
The main event in the Rockies' minor league system is undoubtedly the Zac Veen show. The highly-touted outfielder is currently riding a blistering 13-game hitting streak for the Isotopes. Over that stretch, he's not just getting hits; he's dominating. His .444 batting average is paired with a staggering .722 slugging percentage, thanks to four doubles, a triple, and three home runs. Veen is also showing a mature approach at the plate with five walks against seven strikeouts, all while swiping three bases. This is the version of Veen the organization has been waiting for—a dynamic, five-tool talent proving he can handle the highest level of the minors.
It's not just Veen making noise in the desert. The catcher position in Albuquerque is suddenly a hotbed of offensive production. Since being optioned from the Rockies, Braxton Fulford has been on an absolute tear, going 7-for-15 (.467) with four home runs. His power display included a monstrous 4-for-4 game on July 2 where he scored five times and drove in five runs. Meanwhile, fellow backstop Drew Romo is finding his groove after a slow start to his Triple-A tenure. Romo hit .368 over five games last week, collecting three doubles and showing the contact skills that made him a top prospect. This friendly competition is pushing both players and creating exciting depth at a crucial position.
Back in Denver, the silence is deafening, but it's an expected part of the mid-summer classic. There were no trades, transactions, or significant player updates to report for the major league club. This quiet period offers a valuable chance for the team to rest, recover, and prepare for the grind of the second half. While fans are eager for action, this calm often precedes the storm of the trade deadline, where the Rockies' front office will face key decisions about the team's present and future.
As the big league club recharges for the second half, the talent bubbling up in Albuquerque provides a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come. The break offers a moment to appreciate the journey of these prospects. When play resumes, all eyes will be on the major league squad, but it's worth keeping a close watch on the box scores from the farm. The future is knocking, and it's hitting for both average and power.
