Jeff Hoffman Gets Jersey Retired at Shaker
Jeff Hoffman is only 6 years removed from his days on a pitching mound for Shaker and Thursday night, the former Blue Bison will see his jersey retired by his high school.

Hoffman spent the most time in his career in the majors this past season and he figures to only take on more starts in a young Rockies rotation in 2018.
Jeff joined the show Thursday morning to talk about the honor at his high school, his progress as a pitcher and a monumental offseason:
