LAS CRUCES, N.M. – After garnering National Player of the Week recognition from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and the Western Athletic Conference's Hitter of the Week honor yesterday, Nick Gonzales is receiving more praise from one of the country's most respected baseball publications today.
The native from Vail, Ariz., was named the Perfect Game/Rawlings Player of the Week on Tuesday after his historic weekend against Texas Southern.
Gonzales slashed .571/.727/1.571 with four homers and 17 RBI in a four-game season-opening series sweep over the Tigers. He extended his on-base streak to 70 games, which dates back to the 2018 season.
