Zac Veen, a 24-year-old outfielder for the Colorado Rockies, has made significant lifestyle changes, including gaining over 40 pounds and achieving sobriety after struggling with substance abuse. His hard work is evident this spring, as he has hit two dramatic walk-off home runs in just 11 plate appearances. Veen, the ninth overall pick in 2020, aims to secure a spot on the Rockies’ Opening Day roster despite a challenging start to his professional career. He credits his recovery to support from his high school coach and participation in a rehabilitation program.
