The Cubs’ Patrick Wisdom had himself a week, with numbers we haven’t really seen from anyone on the team in recent years.
From May 31-June 6 Wisdom hit .435/.458/1.261 (1.719 OPS, 10-for-23) with a double and six home runs.
For that excellent performance, Wisdom was named National League Player of the Week. He’s the second Cub to win the award this year. Kris Bryant received the honor for the week of April 26-May 2, when he hit .417/.500/1.042 (10-for-24) with three doubles and four home runs.
Among other accomplishments, Wisdom became the third player in MLB history to hit seven-or-more home runs in his first eight starts with a ballclub.
