Career

[edit]

Amateur career

[edit]

Trejo attended Cathedral High School in Los Angeles, and transferred to Warren High School in Downey, California where his father is a current Math teacher.[2] He enrolled at San Diego State University and played college baseball for the San Diego State Aztecs.[3] He was selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 16th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[4]

Colorado Rockies

[edit]

Trejo played 2017 with the rookie–level Grand Junction Rockies, batting .347/.388/.566 with seven home runs and 32 RBI.[5] The next year he played with the High–A Lancaster JetHawks, with a batting line of .278/.329/.425 with 10 home runs and a career-high 67 RBI.[5] Trejo spent the 2019 season with the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats, slashing .243/.290/.391 with 15 home runs and 39 RBI in 125 games.[5]

Trejo did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] He was added to the Rockies’ 60-man player pool for the 2020 season.[7] He was invited to Spring Training for the 2021 season, but did not make the team and was assigned to the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes to begin the season.[citation needed]

On April 10, 2021, Trejo was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[8] He made his MLB debut that day as a pinch hitter in the 9th inning, flying out to Mauricio Dubón in his only at-bat. He appeared in 28 games in his rookie campaign, hitting .217/.260/.326 with one home run and three RBI.[9]

On June 28, 2022, Trejo hit a walk-off grand slam off of Jon Olczak of the Sugar Land Space Cowboys to help Albuquerque win, 11–9. The slam was the first walk-off grand slam in Isotopes history.[10] In 35 games for Colorado, he hit .271/.312/.424 with four home runs and 17 RBI.[11] Trejo played in 82 games for the Rockies in 2023, hitting .232/.288/.343 with four home runs and 26 RBI.[12] He was outrighted to the minor leagues on January 5, 2024, and removed from the 40-man roster.[13]

On March 26, 2024, manager Bud Black announced that Trejo would have his contract selected after making the Opening Day roster.[14] In 28 games for Colorado, he batted .143/.182/.143 with one RBI.[9] Trejo was designated for assignment on June 28.[15] He elected free agency the following day.[16]

Los Angeles Dodgers

[edit]

On July 2, 2024, Trejo signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and was assigned to the Triple–A Oklahoma City Baseball Club.[17] In 59 games, he batted .265 with six homers and 24 RBI.[5] He became a free agent after the season.[18]
