The Fresno Grizzlies, the Low-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, have been in the news plenty in recent days. After all, the Grizzles entered Friday night with a 47-22 record, the best in all of Low-A West, and are coming off an 11-game winning streak.
There are plenty of reasons why the Grizzles are leading their division, including outfielder Zac Veen, who was named by Minor League Baseball as the Low-A West’s Player of the Week for July 12-18.
