CJ Abrams

CJ Abrams got a taste of appearing on MLBoyfriend last week when I included him in the All-Star Game Red Carpet coverage. That clearly lit a fire under him to win his first MLBoyfriend title.

Abrams went 15-for-26 at the plate last week giving him a .577 batting average--the highest in Major League Baseball. The 6 home runs he hit--the most in the MLB--contributied to his whopping 1.939 OPS. He had 12 RBIs--the most in MLB. Speaking of RBIs, Abrams has 82 for the season--(say it with me) the most in the MLB.

Congratulations CJ Abrams! You are my MLBoyfriend of the Week.

PS: Shout out to MLBoyfriend favorites, Mookie Betts and Kiké Hernández! The two of them decided to skip the White House celebration of the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2025 World Series win. They gave non-political excuses, but we all know who they were shunning.

Kiké Hernández

The last time Kiké Hernández won the MLBoyfriend title, it was not because of his performance on this field but because of his flirtatious social media posts. 

This week, Hernández won the title with the worst batting stats an MLBoyfriend has ever had. In 10 at-bats, he had a 0.00 batting average--literally the worst possible. 

Hernández also stepped in as a relief pitcher last week, but the less said about that, the better.

Social media is again reason Kiké won the title this week. However, this time it's not because he was being silly and sexy. Instead, he was serious when he spoke about about the terrible impact ICE raids are having on Los Angeles. (Be sure to scroll through and read his message.)

Congratulations, Kiké Hernández! You are my MLBoyfiend of the week.

Mr. October: Kiké Hernández

The World Series may seem like a distant memory, but I decided it's not too late to crown my postseason MLBoyfriend. Freddie Freeman was the obvious choice, but I decided to go with someone who caught my eye both on and off the field: Kiké Hernández. Of course, this wasn't the first time Kiké caught my eye--he has won the MLBoyfriend title before--but this postseason reminded of just how much fun he brings to all aspects of the game.

Hernández has earned his reputation as being a solid postseason player over the past nine years.

This year, Hernández continued to do well at the plate with 15 hits--including a triple and 2 home runs--11 runs, and 6 RBI. He had a respectable .294 batting average in October.

But, I'll be honest, it was what Kiké did to celebrate the Dodgers victories over this postseason that won him the MLBoyfriend title.

Here's just a few things that came up in my Instagram feed.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I wasn't the only gay who noticed how often Kiké Hernández was photographed/videoed wearing no shirt this past month. 

Congratulations, Kiké Hernández! You are my MLBoyfriend for October 2024!

Week 7: Kiké Hernández

I usually start off these posts with some stats that help make the case for the week's MLBoyfriend selection. However, this week's winner, Kiké Hernández, put up some pretty mediocre numbers this week. He had a measly .130 batting average and an equally unimpressive .483 OPS with just one run and three RBIs. He did hit one home run in his only good game of the week.

However, it really doesn't matter what his numbers were. Hernández clinched the MLBoyfriend title on Monday, May 6, when he posted this on his excellent Instagram account @kikehndez:

Needless to say, the gays definitely noticed and heartily approved. His "bend and snap" even got the ultimate seal of approval from Elle Woods herself.
