Tulsa Drillers infielder Drew Jackson has been named the Texas League Player of the Week. He received the honor after hitting .438 for the week of May 7-13.
Jackson started five games in the week and put together monster numbers during that stretch. The infielder went 7-16 with four doubles, a triple and a home run while collecting five RBI and stealing a pair of bases. He also had five walks and struck out only once.
The Dodgers acquired Jackson last season in a trade with the Seattle Mariners. He played 29 games with the Drillers last season and has spent all of 2018 in Tulsa.
Jackson is the second Driller to receive a Texas League weekly honor this season. Justin De Fratus was named the Texas League Pitcher of the Week after the first week of the season.
