He slashed .524/.643/.619 for the week going 11-21 with two doubles, one run batted in and seven runs scored. His batting average, on-base percentage, hits, walks and runs were all the most in the league. He joins pitchers Darren McCaughan, Andrew Moore and outfielder Jake Fraley as TL weekly award winners from the Travs in 2019.
