There are some ifs with Veen’s profile to get to the star ceiling that was promised when the 22-year-old lefty-swinging, righty-throwing corner outfielder was made the ninth-overall pick in the 2020 draft and signed for a slightly above-slot value $5 million. If Veen can get healthy, if he can manage the swing-and-miss in his profile, if he can convert more of his raw power into game power. Then Veen could be a star at the big league level. An injury-marred couple of years of ineffective production at Double-A has made those ifs less certain to fall Colorado’s way, but Veen’s potential is still immense.
