The leagues have announced their Players of the Week, highlighting two dynamic offensive performances that stole the spotlight.
In the United League, Alex Rodriguez of the Washington Senators once again demonstrated why he’s considered one of the game’s brightest young stars. The 21-year-old shortstop hit .364 (8-for-22) over the past week, crushing 4 home runs and driving in 6 RBIs to secure United League Player of the Week honors.
For the season, Rodriguez is batting .279 with 15 home runs, 30 RBIs, and 50 runs scored, continuing to be a central force in Washington’s lineup.
Over in the Federal League, Kal Daniels of Minnesota earned Player of the Week honors after a scorching stretch at the plate. At 33, Daniels posted a .455 batting average, going 10-for-22 with 4 home runs and 5 RBIs across six games.
On the year, Daniels is hitting .270 with 21 home runs, 45 RBIs, and 44 runs scored, proving that veteran bats can still carry plenty of thunder.
Two leagues, two standout weeks — and two hitters setting the pace as June begins.
