Toronto Blue Jays’ outfielder, Teoscar Hernandez, has been named the American League Player of the Week by Globalnews.ca for his outstanding performance on the field. Hernandez, who goes by the nickname “Francis,” had an impressive week, hitting .500 with three home runs and seven RBIs in just four games.
The 28-year-old Dominican Republic native has been a key player for the Blue Jays this season, leading the team in home runs and RBIs. His powerful bat and strong defensive skills have helped propel the Blue Jays to the top of the AL East standings.
Hernandez’s performance last week was particularly impressive, as he helped lead the Blue Jays to a series sweep over the Oakland Athletics. In the final game of the series, Hernandez hit two home runs and drove in five runs, leading the Blue Jays to a 10-8 victory.
This is not the first time that Hernandez has been recognized for his outstanding play. He was also named the AL Player of the Month in April, after hitting .327 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs.
Hernandez’s success on the field has made him a fan favorite in Toronto, and his teammates and coaches have praised him for his work ethic and leadership. Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo has called Hernandez a “special player” and credited him with being a key part of the team’s success this season.
As Hernandez continues to impress both fans and critics alike, there is no doubt that he will continue to be a key player for the Blue Jays as they push for a playoff spot in the competitive AL East. Congratulations to Teoscar Hernandez on being named the AL Player of the Week by Globalnews.ca.
