Scooter, Gleyber earn league POTW honors
A pair of second basemen broke out the lumber this week and amazed fans with a power showcase at the plate.
Major League Baseball on Tuesday announced that Reds slugger Scooter Gennett was the latest National League Player of the Week Award winner, and Yankees rookie phenom Gleyber Torres earned the American League Player of the Week Award, both presented by W.B. Mason.
This is the second time that Gennett, 28, has won the award this season (also week of May 13). He won the prestigious honor for the first time last June after becoming the 17th player in MLB history to hit four home runs in a game against the Cardinals.
Reds teammate Joey Votto took home the award on April 30.
