r/baseball Players of the Week - Week 20: Reds' Aristides Aquino sets the Major League rookie record for the most HR in 12 games, Royals' bright-spot Jorge Soler goes for the Franchise HR record with a crazy 1.273 SLG, and Padres' Dinelson Lamet flirts with history by taking a no-no into the 7th!

Welcome to r/baseball's Players of the Week feature! We have one Voter from each team, and we vote each week on the best hitting and pitching performances in both the American League and the National League. This week (August 5th through August 11th) we had 29 Votes.

Our Voters are charged with a simple question: Which MLB players had the best week in each of our four categories?

All stats are from Baseball-Reference.com's excellent Daily Game Log Finder tool.

We Are Hiring: We are currently in need of a Voter from the Boston Red Sox. If you can commit to Voting each Monday (during the Regular Season) and believe that you have a good awareness of the entire League, please send me a DM!

Mobile-Friendly Week 20 Results

American League Hitter of the Week: Jorge Soler

Name Votes AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB BA OBP SLG OPS
Jorge Soler 23 22 10 9 1 0 6 12 6 5 1 .409 .552 1.273 1.824
Mike Tauchman 4 24 7 10 2 0 5 10 5 5 2 .417 .517 1.125 1.642
Gio Urshela 2 20 8 9 2 0 5 10 1 4 0 .450 .500 1.300 1.800

Power City, Baby: In an otherwise uneventful season, Jorge Soler has given Royals fans a lot to be excited about, as he nears the Royals' long-held HR record from Mike Moustakas' 36-HR campaign in 2018. MLB.com breaks down the looming record and what it means for the righty.

From The Voters: "Using my homer vote on Soler. Watching him one handed and off balance sling shot breaking balls out of tbe park has been the highlight of a frustrating year." - u/JackieStealsHome

From The Voters: "Ok so like, I'm pretty sure that Mike Tauchman isn't actually better than Mike Trout, but he has a .411/.482/.822 slash line since the All-Star Break so I can't be completely sure." - u/aweinschenker

National League Hitter of the Week: Aristides Aquino

Name Votes AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB BA OBP SLG OPS
Aristides Aquino 18 22 8 11 1 0 6 11 2 7 0 .500 .542 1.364 1.905
