Rockies CJ Cron Claims NL Player of Week Honors

From the offices of Major League Baseball

Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron was named the National League Player of the Week presented by Chevrolet. Cron was awarded his first career NL Player of the Week Award and is the Rockies' second winner this season, following Joshua Fuentes (May 17th).



During the week, Cron:

  • Posted a slash line of .556/.636/1.278 with nine runs scored, 10 hits, a double, four home runs, 16 RBI and three walks across five games.

  • Delivered a grand slam and career-best seven RBI Sunday, the most RBI by a Rockies player since Trevor Story on May 31, 2019. Became the first player in franchise history to club three grand slams in a single season.

  • Notched 13 RBI in Colorado's series against the Miami Marlins, tied with Hall of Famer Larry Walker (April 27-29, 1999) for the most in a three-game series in franchise history. Became the first Major Leaguer since RBI became an official statistic in 1920 to log at least eight runs and 13 RBI in a three-game set.
