Shin-Soo Choo wins his second American League Player of the Week award this season.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Indians right fielder Shin-Soo Choo was named American League Player of the Week today. Not much of a surprise after his hot weekend in Kansas City.
It's the second time this season Choo has won the award.
Choo hit .500 (10-for-20) last week. Over the weekend, he went 8-for-12 with four homers and 10 RBI in a three-game series against the Royals. He hit three homers and drove in seven runs in Friday's 11-4 victory.
He homered and stole a base Sunday to reach 20-20 for the second straight season.
In six games last week, Choo reached base safely in each game. He finished the week with 11 RBI, a .615 on-base percentage, a 1.150 slugging percentage and seven runs scored.
