The best player in the American League - For a week
SEATTLE — Gary Sanchez has been the best hitter on the Yankees since his arrival earlier this month. Monday, he was given another title: the best player in the American League - for a week, anyway.The 23-year-old catcher was named the AL player of the week, hitting .523 with four home runs, six RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in six games.
"Obviously we've seen what he's done in the weeks that he's been here and he's been really impressive," Joe Girardi said. "Well deserved."
Despite the franchise's rich history behind the plate, Sanchez is the first Yankees catcher to win the award since Thurman Munson did so in July 1976 - and only the second ever to receive the honor.
