Week 10: Trevor Story

Since the American League Player of the Week was my MLBoyfriend last week, it seems only fair that the National League  Player of the Week win the honor this week. Welcome back, Trevor Story. It's always nice to see the first ever MLBoyfriend back on the blog.

Last week, Story went 11 for 21 at the plate giving him an amazing .524 batting average. He had a 1.631 OPS, 9 runs,7 RBIs, 2 home runs, and 2 stolen bases.

Story had a monster night on Friday, May 31--he hit both of his home runs and had all seven of his RBIs in that one game.

2018 MLB Award Winners

It's time for the traditional final MLBoyfriend post of the year. All the MLB Awards have been announced, so let's see how my picks matched up with theirs.

Ronald Acuña Jr.: National League Rookie of the Year

Mookie Betts; American League Most Valuable Player, Golden Glove, Silver Slugger, Defensive Player of the Year (right field), & Player Choice Award for Outstanding Player (American League)

Paul Goldschmidt: Silver Slugger

Dallas Keuchel: Golden Glove

J.D. Martinez: American League Hank Aaron Award, two Silver Sluggers, & Players Choice Award for Player of the Year
UPDATE 3/26/19: I wrote this before J.D. Martinez posted something very problematic on social media that is in direct opposition to my values. He has a right to express political opinions, but words have consequences. In this case the consequence is that I no longer think he's hot--in fact, he's the opposite of hot. NRA propaganda is deal breaker for me.

Shohei Ohtani: American League Rookie of the Year

Anthony Rizzo: Golden Glove

Trevor Story: Silver Slugger

Mike Trout: Silver Slugger

Christian Yelich: National League Most Valuable Player, Silver Slugger, & Players Choice Award for Outstanding Player (National League)

Congratulations to all my MLBoyfriends who won MLB Awards! 

Week 24: Trevor Story

Hey, Trevor Story. It's been a minute.

Trevor Story was the first ever MLBoyfriend, and it was high time for for him to win the title again. In honor of his return, I'm going to kick it old school and keep the text to a minimum and include lots of pictures.

Last week, Trevor Story had a decent .292 average and a very good 1.237 OPS. He had five runs and nine RBIs--also very respectable for one week.

The big news was that Story had five home runs last week. Three of those were in one game on Wednesday, September 5. One of those three was a monster 505 foot blast--the longest homer since Statcast started measuring them in 2015.

Oh yeah, Story also had three stolen bases--and I feel like I don't talk about stolen bases enough here at MLBoyfriend.

Week 1: Trevor Story

My first MLBoyfriend of the season had to be the Rockies rookie who tore it up, Trevor Story. He may have had the best first week of major league play ever.  I didn't draft him for my fantasy team, but I was smart enough to pick him up after his amazing, record-setting two-home-run debut in the majors on Opening Day. Added bonus: Trevor is pretty cute.

Of course, he's even better looking when he hits a homer which is often.

He also works it in the infield--check out his stuck-out tongue which shows he's really concentrating.
