Week 15: Trea Turner

It's never a bad week to pick Trea Turner as my MLBoyfriend. The pictures above are Exhibit A of his worthiness. I kind of can't believe it's been almost five years since he won the title. (Well, he was in the doghouse for a little while, but I'm over it.)

Turner's batting stats last week are definitely MLBoyfriend level. He had a .313 average and 0.947 OPS with 3 home runs, 6 runs, and 4 RBIs. He even had one stolen base.

I also think fielding is overlooked in judging baseball players, but Turner made a few great plays last week, like this one.

HOWEVER....

If I'm being honest, Trae Turner is really winning the MLBoyfriend title this week for something he did the week before last week. On July 1st, he hit for the cycle. This is always an amazing feat, but it was made even more special because he became the first MLB player to do it on his birthday. On top of that, this is Turner's third complete cycle--an MLB record shared by only 4 other players.

I really can't believe I missed the entire event when it happened.

Congratulations, Trea Turner! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week. Better late than never.

PS: Congrats on the hair. I know that it's not the case, but you always seem to be sporting the perfect example of male FFH.
