Soon we will rename this article the Jacob Gonzalez Player of the Week award, because he’s consistently putting up great weeks. However, this was his first win of the season for us. He has two Florida State League Player of the Week awards, the Florida State League Player of the Month for April and now a South Atlantic League Player of the Week award in his first week in the league.
Part of the reason he hasn’t won yet for us is that someone younger was doing big things at a higher level. He couldn’t be stopped this week, as Gonzalez easily took home our Pirates Prospects Player of the Week award.
