Minor League Baseball announced today that Albuquerque Isotopes outfielder Zac Veen (No. 9 PuRP) has been named Pacific Coast League Player of the Month for June.

His accomplishments last month have been notable.   

Over 24 games in June, Veen slashed .366/.385/.782. This includes 13 doubles, four triples, seven homers, and 19 RBI.  He led the PCL in hits (37), doubles, total bases (79), and tied for first in triples during the month of June.  In addition, Veen led minor league baseball in total bases.

His 24 extra-base hits in June were second-most for an Isotopes player in a month since at least 2005. Scott Seabol and Ryan Ritter each collected 25 extra-base knocks in May 2006 and May 2025, respectively.

Add to that, Veen hit safely in 23 of 24 games during the month and compiled a 25-game hit streak from May 27-June 25, the third-longest in Isotopes history. Additionally, he tied a franchise record with three doubles on June 23 when the Isotopes met the Salt Lake Bees before launching a pair of leadoff home runs later in that series.

This marks the ninth time in team history an Albuquerque player has won PCL Player of the Month: Scott Seabol (May 2006), Ryan McMahon (June 2017), Mike Tauchman (May 2018), Taylor Motter (July 2021), Wynton Bernard (August 2022), Elehuris Montero (May 2023 and July 2024) and Ryan Ritter (May 2025).

This is Veen’s first Player of the Month award of his career.
