HL Honors Brooklyn Center Fielder

Monday, September 11th, 2017: So far in his young career, António López has kept a low profile, but after his performance at the plate last week, he attracted the notice of the rest of the Hurlers League in a big way as he was named the Player of the Week today for his efforts.

The 25-year-old Brooklyn Surf Dawgs center fielder hit at a torrid .452 clip as he collected 14 hits in 31 at-bats, 4 home runs, 14 RBIs and 7 runs scored.

This year López is batting .255 with 34 home runs and 120 RBIs.

This season McKinney has 13 home runs and a .362 batting average.

Diamondbacks O'Neal Named SL's #1 Player

Monday, September 11th, 2017: At the age of 28, Craig O'Neal might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication.

He racked up 12 hits in 28 at-bats, 5 home runs and 8 RBIs last week in 7 games.

So far this season O'Neal is hitting .292 with 28 home runs.
