Rockies spring training report: Zac Veen puts on 25 pounds of muscle

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Outfielder Zac Veen, the Rockies’ top prospect who has a legitimate chance to make his big-league debut this season — possibly before the All-Star break — is hard to ignore.

On the field or in the clubhouse.

“He runs the bases hard, plays a good, solid outfield,” manager Bud Black said Friday. “Just the (look) of him now. … He’s got the hair out of the helmet. He’s got the headband. For a lot of people, a lot of fans, it might be a good look — because it looks right.”

And Black didn’t even mention the bling around Veen’s neck.
