Nolan Jones is giving Rockies fans something they haven’t had in a while.
Namely, hope. And excitement.
He busted out in June, becoming the Rockies’ most electrifying player and providing a ray of promise for a struggling team.
“Nolan’s been awesome on both sides of the ball,” said veteran third baseman Ryan McMahon. “He’s brought energy and a little swag for us.”
On June 11, the 25-year-old outfielder/first baseman hit the first walk-off home run of his career, launching a 472-foot rocket against the Padres that ranks as the longest walk-off homer in the Statcast era (since 2015).
