San Francisco Giants’ Tyler Fitzgerald rounds the bags after hitting a fourth inning home run against the Colorado Rockies, Friday, July 26, 2024, at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif.
SAN FRANCISCO — After his scorching-hot July, Tyler Fitzgerald was rewarded Saturday with National League Rookie of the Month honors. The 26-year-old shortstop hit .321 with eight home runs, two doubles, one triple, 15 RBI and 13 runs scored, leading NL rookies in batting average, home runs and on-base percentage while ranking among the top five in RBIs, slugging percentage, triples, runs scored and walks.
Fitzgerald, a fourth-round draft pick out of Louisville in 2020, became the first Giants rookie to earn the honor since Luis Gonzalez in May 2022. He has only continued his hot hitting since the calendar turned to August, contributing three hits and his 10th home run of the season in Friday’s 3-0 win over the Reds behind Blake Snell’s no-hit effort.
