NL Star of the Week Picked Monday, June 25th , 2001 27-year-old Boog Powell sent shock waves through Whirled Baseball last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the National League Player of the Week Award. A newcomer to the league, Powell made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .522 average, 12 hits in 23 at-bats, 4 home runs and 6 RBI. Where the Kansas City Monarchs first baseman goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Powell certainly made his mark last week. This season, Powell has banged out 69 hits in 249 at-bats for a .277 average with 19 home runs. He is getting on base at a .369 pace and his totals also include 50 RBIs and 44 runs scored. |
