I try to keep an eye out for fresh faces to highlight here, but when an old favorite is on a hot streak, I have to show respect. Anthony Rizzo has had himself quite a week last week and earned his fourth MLBoyfriend title.
Last week, Rizzo had a .346 batting average and 1.414 OPS with 7 hits and 11 RBIs. All very respectable stats, but the real news is his home run streak. He hit 5 homers last week--more than any other MLB player--and 3 of those came in the same game on April 27.
It's early days yet, but as of now, Anthony Rizzo is the MLB home run leader for the season with 9 so far. He has definitely quieted the doubts many Yankees fans had about him going into the season. Of course, he has also looked great doing it.
Congratulations, Anthony Rizzo, you are my MLBoyfriend of the week. I expect you will be celebrating with your teammate and MLBoyfriend favorite, Aaron Judge.
