Most Valuable Position Player
Freddy Galvis
Galvis had quite the week this week, batting .421 while recording the weekly cycle. The veteran shortstop mashed himself a double, triple and home run en route to MVPP honors. Galvis is now hitting .268 on the season with three home runs and twelve runs batted in. He extended his hitting streak to 12 straight games Sunday.
This is Galvis’ first MVPP award of the year.
Most Valuable Pitcher
Zach Eflin
Once again, Jeremy Hellickson made his case for another MVP award, however, Eflin was more than deserving.
The 23-year-old was excellent this week but was awarded no wins for his efforts. Eflin worked through 14 innings, only giving up seven hits and three runs in the process.
Eflin managed to lead the starters in BAA(.143), WHIP(0.50) and strikeouts(7). The righty remains winless on the season, however, his 1.89 ERA in his three outings is a nice consolation.
Next: Maikel Franco Deserving of Triple-A
This is Eflin’s first MVP award of the season.
