Georgia Tech Baseball: Jackets in the Pros 2018 season outlook

Blackmon signed a one-year deal worth $14 million with the Rockies this past off season and will be looking to earn his third straight silver slugger award. The former Yellow Jacket finished fifth in MVP voting last season and will once again be among the best outfielders in all of baseball this upcoming season. Last season, Blackmon lead the National League hitting .331 while also hitting 37 home runs and 104 RBI.

2018 will be Blackmon’s eight year in Colorado and could be in store for a monster contract if he is able produce at the rate he did a season ago.
