Mickey Moniak has Multi-Homer Game in San Diego
Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak had a fun homecoming in the third game of the series in San Diego on Saturday against the Padres in a 9-4 loss at Petco Park. Moniak, who went to high school in the San Diego area, went 4-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .300 and his OPS to 1.113. The 27-year-old former first overall pick in 2016 by the Philadelphia Phillies has found a home in Colorado, at least against right-handed pitching. Moniak broke out in 2025 in his first year with the team, slashing .270/.306/.518 with an .824 OPS, 24 home runs, 68 RBI, 62 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 461 plate appearances over 135 games. His two homers on Saturday night brought him to five on the year while also adding nine RBI. Although he has limitations against lefties (.491 career OPS), he has become a post-hype prospect, especially in the hitter-friendly environment at Coors Field. Moniak is only rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues, but he should attract more interest to close out the week after his two-homer game on Saturday.
