WORCESTER -- Anyone who has seen Marcelo Mayer play for the WooSox recently wouldn’t be surprised by the announcement on Monday that he was named the International League Player of the Week for the week of April 21-27.
“I think he was the obvious choice,” WooSox manager Chad Tracy said of his “run-producing machine”, Mayer, who batted .460 with three home runs, 12 RBI, nine hits and amassed a 1.530 OPS last week, racking up 21 bases over six games. Mayer leads minor league baseball with 34 RBIs.
For Mayer, there’s not a lot to say about the honor.
