As the Rockies' lone Colorado-based affiliate, Grand Junction looks to become the go-to destination for farm system fans.
Grand Junction, Colorado, is a gem of a baseball town. Home of the Junior College World Series, Colorado Mesa University baseball and the Grand Junction Rockies. As the only remaining Rockies’ minor league affiliate in the state, the Rookie-ball Grand Junction Rockies are hoping to draw the attention -- and attendance -- of Colorado Rockies fans, and it couldn’t be happening at a better time.
In this past week’s First-Year Player Draft, the Rockies had a total of 14 selections coming out of high school.
