Jordan Pacheco was drafted by the Rockies in the ninth round of the 2007 draft from the University of New Mexico. He debuted September 6, 2011 and would play for the Rox for four seasons until being DFA’d in June 2014. He then spent time in Arizona and Cincinnati at the major-league level, but then signed minor-league deals with the Twins and Mariners before officially retiring in August 2021. In his six-year MLB career, Pacheco slashed .272/.310/.365 with just 10 home runs; with the Rockies, he slashed .281/.317/.379 with eight of those homers.
But that wasn’t the end of Pacheco’s baseball career.
