Zac Veen, an outfielder for the Albuquerque Isotopes, was named the Pacific Coast League Player of the Month for June, a distinction that marks the first time the 24‑year‑old has received the league’s monthly honor.
During the month he compiled 13 doubles, four triples, seven home runs and 19 RBIs across 24 games, a performance that also placed him atop all minor‑league players in total bases.
The award brings the ninth Player of the Month recognition to the Isotopes franchise and underscores the team’s recent surge in producing standout talent.
A New Face on the Rise
Nolan Perry, a former Carlsbad high‑school star, has been promoted to the Double‑A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the top affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.
In his debut with the Fisher Cats he tossed three shutout innings, striking out seven batters and hinting at the promise that earned him a spot in the 2026 MLB Futures Game.
The selection to the Futures Game, an annual showcase of the sport’s most promising prospects, highlights Perry’s rapid ascent and the continued pipeline of New Mexico‑born talent in professional baseball.
