🚀 Standout of The Day

Zac Veen, OF, Colorado Rockies

Stats: 1/2 Walk-Off HR

Notable Data: 101.6 mph fly out(393 feet), 108.7 mph walk off HR(447 feet)

Why The Performance Matters:

Coming into camp, reports stated that Veen added 42 pounds and that he has matured in several ways. Dealing with substance abuse in the past, Veen stated that he is now sober and completely clean from any substances. Mental struggles and all sorts of other things affected him, and his career has been up and down to this point. Making his MLB debut last year, Veen struggled badly and got just 37 plate appearances.

Veen nearly left the yard in the seventh inning of Friday’s game, blasting a 101.6 mph shot that traveled to the warning track 393 feet in right-center. He redeemed himself as he came to the plate in the ninth inning and ended the game with a 447-foot blast to walk it off. The shot left the bat with a 108.7 mph exit velocity and left no doubt.

It was Veen’s second home run of the year, and the exit velocity data is off the charts. Sure, we are looking at a small sample, but Veen has already smashed his max exit velocity with a 113.3 mph shot.

Contact has still been an issue, which is something to keep an eye on. But if the power games are legit, then Veen should see plenty of time in Colorado this year. The baseball talent has been there, but the off-the-field stuff has clearly limited him. Hopefully that is behind him at this point.

Fantasy Spin:

The Rockies are slated to run out Jake McCarthy and Jordan Beck in the outfield with Mickey Moniak at DH. If Veen continues to surge all spring, it would not be surprising to see him on the Opening Day roster, especially given his service clock has already started. Veen is sure to see his redraft ADP soar, but you can likely still get him on the cheap right now. In dynasty, I would say Veen is worth taking a shot on in a trade. -CC
