As I was looking over the list of the best players last week, Gunnar Henderson's name caught my eye. I went to see how long it's been since he was named my MLBoyfriend, and was shocked to discover he never has never been. Although he's only been in the majors for 4 years, he has definitely made a big name for himself.
I'm sure there have been many weeks when Henderson has been in the running. I looked up the times he has won the American League Player of the Week award to see who took the award that week. On June 12, 2023, he lost to Corbin Carroll--interestingly, both of them would go on to win the Rookie of the Year award in their respective leagues that year. Henderson lost the MLBoyfriend title to the National League Player of the Week, Kyle Schwarber, on September 9, 2024.
Henderson was very impressive last week. He had a .286 batting average, 1.196 OPS with 1 double, 1 triple and 4 home runs. He scored 7 runs and batted in 7. He also stole base twice. I couldn't deny him the MLBoyfriend award any longer.
Congratulations, Gunnar Henderson! You are my MLBoyfreind of the Week.
