Rookie Jordan Beck continues to impress in his early Major League stint, hitting his second home run in as many days during the Rockies' 10-5 loss to the Giants. Despite the loss snapping Colorado's seven-game winning streak, Beck's consistent hitting, following a rough start, showcases his ability to adapt quickly. The 23-year-old, 38th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, is starting to live up to his potential with a six-game hitting streak, including a stellar game against the Padres.

By the Numbers
  • Beck's 2nd home run in two days to stretch his hitting streak to six games.
  • Hit .307 with five homers and 28 RBIs in 25 games at Triple-A Albuquerque before debuting.
Yes, But

While Beck’s offensive surge is notable, the Rockies' pitching struggles led to a loss. Starting pitcher Ryan Feltner couldn't maintain consistency with his pitches, and reliever Jake Bird struggled with command leading to a critical moment. This highlights the ongoing challenge for the Rockies in converting good hitting into consistent wins.

State of Play
  • Beck adjusted to Major League pitching after an initial struggle, now showing the power and average the Rockies expected.
  • Rockies' bullpen issues and lack of clutch hitting re-emerged in the loss to the Giants.
What's Next

As Beck gains more experience, continued adjustments to varying pitches will be key. The Rockies will need to stabilize their bullpen performance to turn Beck’s offensive contributions into consistent victories.

Bottom Line

Jordan Beck's adaptation and recent performance demonstrate his potential as a key offensive player for the Rockies. However, to capitalize on his and the team's overall hitting strength, improvements on the mound and in clutch situations are essential.
