Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had himself quite a week, so it’s no surprise he’s being recognized for his success.
The Toronto Blue Jays’ rookie third baseman was dubbed American League Player of the Week on Monday thanks to a stellar stretch at the plate. In fact, he hit the first four home runs of his MLB career just in the last week.
He broke Danny Ainge’s record Tuesday for youngest player to hit a home run in Blue Jays history with his first-ever major league dinger hit.
The first Major League Award of Vlad Jr.'s career! 🏆
