The leagues have announced their Players of the Week, spotlighting two young stars who torched opposing pitching over the past seven days.

In the Federal League, Chipper Jones of Milwaukee put on a jaw-dropping display at the plate. The third baseman hit an even .500 (11-for-22), blasting 6 home runs and driving in 9 RBIs to claim Federal League Player of the Week honors. Jones showcased the kind of power and consistency that hints strongly at stardom.

Over in the United League, Cliff Floyd of the New York Mets earned Player of the Week recognition after a strong all-around offensive performance. The 24-year-old left fielder batted .387, collecting 12 hits in 31 at-bats, along with 2 home runs and 4 RBIs, continuing to establish himself as a long-term presence in the league.

Two leagues, two rising stars — and two performances that set the tone for what’s ahead.
