Albuquerque Isotopes News Release
Albuquerque native and former La Cueva High School and University of New Mexico standout Jordan Pacheco will be returning home, as the Colorado Rockies announced today that Pacheco will serve as the Albuquerque Isotopes hitting coach for the 2022 season.
Pacheco remains one of the most prolific offensive players in UNM's baseball history, as he compiled a .384 average with 59 doubles, eight triples, 25 home runs and 145 RBI over three seasons from 2005-07 and was named Mountain West Conference Player of the Year in 2007. Pacheco was drafted in the ninth round by the Colorado Rockies in 2007 and eventually made his Major League debut with Colorado in 2011.
Pacheco also appeared with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cincinnati Reds in his Major League career, which spanned 377 games and a .272 batting average over six seasons. He retired from playing professionally following the 2021 season, as he hit .370 in 39 contests to help lead the independent Lexington Legends to an Atlantic League championship this season.
The rest of the Isotopes coaching staff will be announced at a later date.
