The first baseman for the Kansas City Royals is having one of the best offensive months by a Royal in the past decade.

 

Vinnie Pasquantino was named the American League Player of the Week, the third such honor of his career. He also was awarded the award in June, and back in the 2022 season.

 

Pasquantino hit .379 last week with six home runs and 12 runs batted in. He also led the major leagues in slugging percentage, OPS, and total bases.

 

The first baseman also became the third player in franchise history to homer in five consecutive games, joining teammate Salvador Perez, and retired star Mike Sweeney.

 

Pasquantino leads the team in both home runs and runs batted in this season, slashing .279 with 24 home runs and 89 RBIs since the beginning of May.
