Its been a big week for the Rockies top prospect, who learned yesterday that he had won his second consecutive Pacific Coast League Player of the Week Award. Even briefly spoke with media about being back with the big-league club. I feel really blessed, Veen said. I feel really grateful for the opportunity, and I think how much I appreciate taking the field every day has been a big difference for me this year.In 2025, Veen was with the Rockies for 12 games when he slashed .118/.189/.235. During his time with the Isotopes, Veen has been busy, working on both sides of his game.I feel like a little bit of everything has gotten better while I was there, Veen said. I feel like we worked on some mechanical stuff, hitting-wise, worked on some approach stuff just things to (help me) be the most best version of myself every day.In terms of working on his approach at the plate, Veen gave credit to Isotopes hitting coach Matt Snyder. We had a really good plan for you know what pitches I wanted to swing at, what we were looking for, Veen said, and I think he did a great job with helping me get better at that.Veens numbers from the last month certainly support that thesis. Currently, the Rockies first-round draft pick in the 2020 MLB Draft currently slashing a torrid .327/.402/.635. He also leads the Pacific Coast League in both slugging percentage and OPS (1.037) in 100 games with just under 400 at-bats.What was Veen doing when he got the news that hed be joining the Rockies at Chase Field? I was about to load a Call of Duty Zombies game in the hotel, and thats when I got the call.Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:Fewer adsCreatecommunity postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community postsNew, improved notifications system!Please keep in mind ourPurple Row Community Guidelineswhen youre commenting.
