This is the first installment of a series to highlight the progress of outfielder-first baseman Connor Joe, who is making his presence known in his first season at the Major League level for the Colorado Rockies.
A native of San Diego and a favorite of Rox fans, Joe did not play a year ago after he announced in March 2020 that he had testicular cancer, resulting in surgery and treatment during the campaign.
