Rockies Prospect Picks Up First Career RBI

About a week ago, the Colorado Rockies sat dead last in the NL West with an 8-28 record. Six days later, the team is now 14-28 after a very impressive six-game winning streak. Colorado defeated the San Francisco Giants during the last game of their three-game series. Then, the Rockies swept the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers. Finally, this Rockies team has just won two straight games against the division-rival San Diego Padres. At the beginning of the month, Colorado called up fourth-ranked prospect Jordan Beck to the 40-man roster. During the Rockies’ 6-3 win Tuesday night in San Diego, Jordan Beck recorded his first career RBI in the top of the sixth inning. This is only just the start for the young 23-year-old outfielder, as once he gets comfortable at the major league level, his untapped potential should be revealed.

Rockies Prospect Jordan Beck Picks Up First Career RBI

With runners at the corners with two outs, the 23-year-old prospect came to the plate for the Rockies. In his first two at-bats, Beck struck out and was sent walking back to the dugout. The Rockies prospect dropped an RBI single into no man’s land in right field. That extended Colorado’s lead to 5-0 at the time. So far, Beck has played in 14 major league games. In 47 at-bats, he has recorded nine hits and an RBI. Out of his 47 at-bats, Beck has struck out 20 times. He has a current batting average of .191 and a statline of .191/.191/.213. Despite this slow start, once the 23-year-old outfielder gets enough experience at the major league level, the Rockies are expecting him to dominate and be a key cornerstone piece within the franchise.
