Guardians slugger Josh Naylor has been putting forth a monster effort, and he is being recognized for it.
Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor has been named American League Player of the Week, via press release from MLB public relations.
Naylor led the AL in total bases and was tied for the league lead with six extra-base hits. Plus, he finished second in the AL in RBI and runs scored . Naylor was originally acquired by the Guardians back in 2020 in a deal that sent starting pitcher Mike Clevinger to the San Diego Padres. It wasn't until 2022 when Naylor finally started to break through, slashing .256/.319/.452 and flashing some decent pop with 20 home runs and 79 RBI. He then broke out in a big way last season, registering a .308/.354/.489 slash line to go along with 17 homers and 97 RBI.
