Zac Veen Crushes Second Walk-Off Homer, Reveals Sobriety & 40-Pound Gain

Colorado Rockies prospect Zac Veen delivered his second walk-off home run of February, a solo shot off Padres reliever Sean Boyle in the 9th inning, securing a 3-2 spring training win. Veen, 24, is 3-for-11 with two homers this spring, showcasing new power after gaining over 40 pounds and getting sober from a multi-year substance abuse problem. He credits lifestyle changes, including an 11-week program and spiritual growth, for his improved performance. Despite past struggles and a brief .118 MLB debut last season, Veen's strong spring performance makes a case for an Opening Day roster spot.
