Endy Rodriguez was our Player of the Week during the final full week in July, and then he won the Player of the Month award for July. He is now the Pirates Prospects Player of the Week for the week of August 22-28, and he has a chance to pull off the Player of the Week/Month award combo again this month. Rodriguez hit .375/.444/.875 this past week in 27 plate appearances, with three doubles, three homers and three walks. For good measure, he added seven runs scored and nine RBIs.
Rodriguez was on a roll right before he joined Altoona, and he hasn’t seen any slowing down since he started facing upper level competition for the first time three weeks ago.
