Position: Third Base [3B]

Jeff Baker has battled wrist injuries throughout his young career that have resulted in two surgeries.

This season he has shown no ill effects, hitting .349 with 7 HR, 51 RBI, and 19 doubles for the Visalia Oaks. Jeff also leads the California League with a .456 on-base- percentage.

“He has a very polished approach,” says Colorado’s Director of Player Personnel, Bill Geivett. “He’s a special player and easily has a chance to be an all-star.”

We look to see Jeff move forward in the Rockies farm system perhaps to AA during the remainder of the 2003 season, barring further injuries. He's No. 22 in the FAB50.
