Roc Riggio named Rockies Organizational Player of the Month for July

Roc Riggio has been recognized as the Rockies Organizational Player of the Month for July following a strong performance in both Hartford and Albuquerque. After a slow start to the season, Riggio made adjustments to improve his batting, leading to a.303/.465/.592 slash line in July, including five home runs and 11 RBIs in 22 games. The 24-year-old infielder, acquired in a trade from the Yankees, credits his success to the coaching staff and his focus on consistency and patience at the plate. This marks Riggio's first full season of professional baseball after dealing with injuries in previous years, and he has continued to adapt to the altitude in Colorado. His season has included highlights such as participating in a World Baseball Classic exhibition game with Team USA.
