Zac Veen Fantasy Stats

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and an additional run scored in a 12-2 win over Triple-A Sacramento. Veen has been productive all season a Triple-A, slashing .309/.377/.491 with six homers and 10 stolen bases in 259 plate appearances. He made his MLB debut in early April, but was unable to stick with the big league club as he was just 4-for-34 with 14 strikeouts during his brief stint. He has an interesting power and speed skillset, although the power is still a question, as his 109.2 MPH MaxEV doesn't signal a big ceiling in that department. But he has hit the ball consistently hard at Triple-A this season with a 49.4 percent hard-hit rate, and would have some appeal in deep and NL-only leagues if he were to return to the majors at some point.

The Colorado Rockies have optioned outfield prospect Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque. In a corresponding move, the team activated outfielder Brenton Doyle from the bereavement list. Veen has held a modest .118/.189/.235 slash line with one double and one home run across his first 12 games at the MLB level. Veen will look to find his footing at the top level of the minor leagues. During this brief taste of the majors, Veen generated an underwhelming .203 xwOBA with a .130 xBA. However, he did flash speed upside as he placed in the 81st percentile in sprint speed. Through 29 career games at Triple-A, the former ninth overall pick has held a .265/.336/.531 slash line with seven doubles, seven home runs, and seven stolen bases. He is worth monitoring in deeper formats, as he should be in the mix to return to Colorado later this season.

Colorado Rockies rookie outfielder Zac Veen is taking a seat on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium with a left-hander on the mound. Jordan Beck will make the start in left field for the Rockies and will bat eighth against Royals southpaw Kris Bubic. Veen has struggled to make an impact for Colorado in his first 11 major-league games since being called up the Show for the first time, going 4-for-34 (.118) with a homer, double, two RBI, a stolen base, two walks and 14 strikeouts in 37 plate appearances. If he doesn't start to pick things up at the plate soon, it's possible the Rockies will send him back to the farm for more seasoning. Beck has been just as bad early on in 2025, going 5-for-28 with no homers, four RBI, three stolen bases and 13 strikeouts in 11 games in his second MLB campaign.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen went 1-for-2 with a home run during Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Washington Nationals on Sunday afternoon. Veen would hit his first MLB long ball in the third inning off Washington starting pitcher Jake Irvin. Veen was in contention to make the MLB roster out of camp but fell short in the running. However, he was rewarded with an early promotion and made his MLB debut on April 8. However, the former ninth overall pick has been going through some growing pains in the big leagues as he has posted a modest .118/.189/.235 slash line with just two extra-base hits across his first 11 MLB contests. Last season in the minor leagues, he held an overall .258/.346/.459 line. Fantasy managers should expect the Spruce Creek HS product to continue to see playing time in center and left field.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Zac Veen is not in Wednesday's lineup when the Rockies continue a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Veen has been in the starting nine in each of the first eight games since getting the call to the big leagues. During his first taste of the majors, the 23-year-old has held an underwhelming .107/.167/.143 slash line with one double. Instead, the Rockies will give Sean Bouchard the starting nod in left field. He will bat in the eight-hole. Fantasy managers should expect Veen to return to the starting nine on Friday when they start a series against the Washington Nationals. Even though Veen has had a slow start to his MLB career, he should continue to be stashed in deeper category formats given his speed upside.

The Colorado Rockies officially announced on Tuesday that they recalled outfield prospect Zac Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque after optioning outfielder Jordan Beck to Albuquerque on Monday. Veen is starting in right field and batting seventh in his major-league debut on Tuesday against Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta at Coors Field. The 23-year-old is considered the Rockies' No. 8 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he should receive regular playing time in the outfield, making him worth a look off the waiver wire in deep-mixed fantasy leagues. The former first-rounder (ninth overall) in 2020 looked good in spring training and went 12-for-31 with a homer and eight RBI in his first eight games with Albuquerque before his call-up. Veen will have a tough first big-league matchup against the veteran Peralta.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen is expected to be promoted to the major-league roster on Tuesday, with outfielder Jordan Beck being optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. It was a surprise when Veen didn't make the team on Opening Day after slashing .270/.352/.460 with two home runs and nine stolen bases in 71 plate appearances this spring, but now he is finally getting his chance. In 2024, he hit .258 with 11 home runs and 21 steals in 65 minor league games and is an intriguing young prospect who will play half of his games at Coors Field. He had a hot start in Triple-A to begin the season, batting .444 through seven games, and he'll hope to carry that moment into the big leagues. He's worth a speculative add in case he finds his footing quickly, as his skill set is very fantasy-friendly.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen had a nice day at the plate on Wednesday, going 2-for-5, including a triple along with four RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base for Triple-A Albuquerque. That makes him 7-for-19 (.368) to begin the season, with three of his seven hits going for extra bases. After a strong spring where he slashed .270/.352/.460 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 28 Cactus League games, it seemed like he had a good shot at making the Rockies' Opening Day roster, but was ultimately optioned to Triple-A, which is where he finished last season. In 21 games for Albuquerque in 2024, the former first-round draft pick hit six home runs and swiped six bags, although a 26.1 percent strikeout rate limited his batting average to .220. With continued success, the left-handed slugger should push for a big league debut later this season, and with decent power along with 70-grade speed, the 23-year-old could make for an intriguing fantasy asset whenever he gets the call.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Zac Veen has been optioned to minor league camp on Sunday. The Rockies have been some interesting decisions lately. Veen should be close to MLB ready after putting up decent numbers in the minor leagues last season. Instead, the Rockies will keep journeyman Nick Martini on the roster. Hopefully, Veen is able to continue hitting well in the minors and force the Rockies to call him up. The former first-round pick has above average speed and could be a good long term option the outfield once he's given the chance.

The 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.
