When the Colorado Rockies announced that former Rockie utility infielder Jordan Pacheco would join his hometown Albuquerque Isotopes as a hitting coach in 2022, I was thrilled at the prospect.

Despite the Isotopes having a record that replicates their parent club, Pacheco has done a phenomenal job helping develop the offense in Albuquerque.

Pacheco has plenty of experience hitting home runs in Albuquerque, dating back to his college days, and he has done wonders sharing that expertise with the Isotopes.
