The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Zack Cozart has been a revelation offensively so far in 2017, and Saturday’s outing against the Phillies just might be the pinnacle so far. Cozart was perfect at the plate - 4 for 4 with a walk - including a 2-run homer and a double, and he continues to make what originally looked like an early season hot streak look more and more real by the game.
His power’s still there. His walk rate is way, way up. Pair that with his typical Gold Glove defense, and the dude’s firmly in the talk for the best player in all of baseball in the year 2017 who doesn’t play for the Angels.
