When he opened the season just 1-for-20, a lot of Miami Marlins fans started to grew impatient with short stop Adeiny Hechavarria and wondered if he’d ever be able to put it all together at the plate.
What a difference a week makes. Adeiny Hechavarria was named the NL player of the week on Monday by Major League Baseball.
In 6 games this past week, Hechavarria went 12-for-24 (.500), with one double, one triple, eight runs, and 10 RBI, and most surprisingly, one home run (his second of the season). Without him, the Marlins likely don’t reel off 5 straight victories like they did.
