Pierre began his professional career with the Portland Rockies of the Northwest League after being selected by Colorado in the 13th round of the 1998 MLB draft.

Pierre made his major league debut on August 7, 2000, as a pinch runner for the Rockies against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
[3] In 2001, Pierre became the Rockies primary starter in center field, appearing in 156 games, 140 of which were starts, hitting .327 with 2 home runs and 55 RBIs.
He led the NL in both stolen bases (46) and caught stealing (17), and his 202 hits were second behind the San Francisco Giants' Rich Aurilia.

In January 2006, Pierre agreed to a 1-year, $5.75 million contract to avoid arbitration, despite the Cubs efforts to reach a long-term deal with him, meaning he would be a free agent following the season.
[11] He also tied for the major league lead in times reached base on an error (13),[12] and played perfect defensive baseball, earning a fielding percentage of 1.000.
When the Dodgers traded for Manny Ramirez, Pierre moved to the bench and saw limited action, primarily as a pinch runner the rest of the season.
Pierre tied former Dodgers player Steve Sax on the top 50 career MLB stolen base leaders list with 444 on June 12, 2009, against the Texas Rangers in Arlington.
During Ramirez's suspension, Pierre delivered a stellar performance that drew praise from fans and critics alike.
