PBR Colorado will be presenting the the PBR All-Colorado Team over the course of the next week. Players chosen for the PBR All-Colorado Team are players that not only performed well during the season, helped their team have success on the field, but also were seen in front of the PBR Colorado scouting staff in the form of a past PBR Colorado event or game. We kick off the PBR All-Colorado team with the Outfield.

Uses the whole field and shows gap to gap power. 4.3 home to first time.
