Commonwealth Association Picks Top Performer
At the age of 28, John Burp might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication. The Bunker Hill first baseman put up some exceptional numbers the past seven days with a .400 batting average. For his efforts Burp collected the Commonwealth Association Player of the Week Award.
He racked up 4 hits in 10 at-bats, 4 home runs and 6 RBIs last week in 3 games.
This year Burp has socked 56 hits in 158 at-bats for a .354 average with 15 home runs. He is getting on base at a .441 pace and his totals also include 46 RBIs and 31 runs scored.
Dealer Caps Great Week
Matt Dealer has the tools to stick in this league for many years. The 21-year-old left fielder of the Fiddler's Green T-60s had a hot bat in the Massachusetts Association over the past seven days and won the Player of the Week honors.
Dealer batted .533 with 8 hits in 15 at-bats, no home runs and 5 RBIs.
Currently Dealer is batting .338 with 26 hits and 2 home runs. He has knocked in 15 runs and scored 9 times.
