Whit Merrifield

Whit Merrifield has been close to winning the MLBoyfriend title many times, and this is finally his week.

Merrifield put up some good numbers last week. He had 13 hits in 28 at-bats for a .464 average. He had 6 runs, 2 doubles, 2 home runs, 7 RBI, and 1 stolen base. And he did all that while looking like this:

Congratulations, Whit Merrifield! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.

Alex Kirilloff

Hey there, Alex Kirilloff--it's been a minute since last you were here.

I can't believe I've made it this far into the season without selecting a Twin. It may sound strange since Minnesota is currently leading the American League Central, but they have been pretty average this season--there win percentage is just .525. No player has had a break out week until now.

Kirilloff had 10 hits in 28 at-bats last week for a .345 average. He hit 3 home runs, 2 doubles and 1 triple giving him a very respectable .793 slugging percentage. He scored 5 runs and batted in 10.

Cogratulations, Alex Kirilloff! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.

2023 All-Star Game Red Carpet

My Top Ten Favorite Looks From The All-Star Game Red Carpet

The week of the All-Star break is not great for naming a regular MLBoyfriend. Last year, I took the chance to do something different by ranking my favorite looks from the ASG's Red Carpet show. Let's do it again this year.

10. Shohei Ohtani. He may be the best player in baseball right now, but Shohei Ohtani only managed to rank #10 on this list. He's wearing a beautiful suit, but honestly, it's kind of boring. It's mostly working because he's so handsome. He's like the hottest guy at your cousin's wedding.

9. Adley Rutschman. Another beautiful suit, but this one is not at all boring. Well played, Adley Rutschman.

8. Derek Shelton. It's very rare for a manager to make an appearance on this blog--it's only happened twice before. However, I had to give Derek Shelton and his family props for their coordinated looks. Glad to see Gen-X representing with a tribute to Seattle, the host city, and it's amazing 90s music scene.

7. Zac Gallen. This comes very close to being douchey, but somehow, Zac Gallen is making it work.

6. Jonah Heim. This summer's hottest trend? Barbiecore. Jonah Heim and family are riding that hot pink wave perfectly.

5. Orlando Arcia. Speaking of Barbiecore... Orlando Arcia's outfit is fine--good even. However, this pick is all about his daughters. Their matching looks--especially the cat-eye glasses--are giving vintage Skipper, and I am here for it.

4. Juan Soto. Nothing to see here--just a hot guy in a perfect suit. Thanks for keeping it simple, Juan Soto.

3. Mookie Betts. Is this great fashion? No. Do I feel like it's showing us the real Mookie Betts? Absolutely. I want to hang out with the guy wearing this.

2. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. This is fun...

...But Lourdes Gurriel Jr. really took it to a whole other level by giving his sons matching outfits. Topping it all off is the subtle touch of his wife's belt tying her in with the boys.

1. Ronald Acuña Jr. On trend in pink? Check. Fashion forward look? Check. Coordinated with his (very hot) date without being overly matchy? Check. Sexy with swagger for days? Check and check! Ronald Acuña Jr. would have been the best look on the ASG red carpet even without the absolutely ridiculous, yet absolutely fabulous diamond necklace with a massive pendant of himself--but, let's face it, that is next level for an MLB event. He understood the assignment.

Joe Musgrove

Joe Musgrove, a.k.a Moose, pitched two very good games last week.

On the 4th of July, Musgrove went 7 full innings against the Los Angeles Angels giving up just 3 hits, 1 walk and 1 earned run while striking out 11.

Then, Musgrove went 6 full innings against the New York Mets. He struck out 7 and gave up 3 hits, 0 walks, and 0 earned runs.

Musgrove ended the week with 2 wins, and an impressive 0.69 ERA and 0.50 WHIP.

Also, is "zaddy" still a thing? Because if it is, it definitely applies here.

Congratulations, Joe Musgrove! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.

Luis Robert Jr.

Yikes, the day is almost over and I haven't met my completely arbitrary, self-imposed deadline. I'll get right to the point: Robert Luis Jr. is this week's MLBoyfriend.

But, just because I'm keeping this brief, doesn't mean Robert is not deserving of the honor. He had 12 hits in 30 at-bats last week for a .400 average. He had 10 runs, 5 home runs, 7 RBI and 3 stolen bases.

Luis Robert Jr. also happens to be very easy on the eyes.

Congratulations, Luis Robert Jr.! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week. Also, congrats on being selected for this year's All-Star Game.
