Shohei Ohtani, Brent Rooker Named Players of the Week

Brent Rooker and Shohei Ohtani were the best Major League Baseball players from April 29 to May 5, 2024. During that stretch, Rooker hit .438/.550/1.063 with three home runs and seven RBIs. Meanwhile, Ohtani had a whopping .524/.583/.952 with three home runs and seven RBIs.

Rooker has been exceptional during the Oakland Athletics’ three-game series against the Miami Marlins. The right fielder had six hits, five runs, three home runs, and seven RBIs during that stretch. More importantly, he struck out only once while earning two bases on balls.

Those performances improved Rooker’s hitting line to .244/.333/.918 with eight home runs and 20 RBIs in 82 at-bats. Meanwhile, he helped the Athletics win five of their six games during the week, keeping them in striking distance with the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners for the American League West lead.

Conversely, Ohtani had 11 hits in 21 at-bats, including a perfect four-for-four against the Atlanta Braves on May 5. Two hits left the yard, and he connected on another home run the day before.

After 36 games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ohtani leads all MLB players in hits (54), doubles (14), and home runs. The Japanese sensation also has the highest batting average (.370), slugging percentage (.705), and OPS (1.139). The two-time Most Valuable Player also leads the league in total bases (103).

His impressive stretch also helped the Dodgers win five of their six games last week, improving their record to a National League West-best 24-13.
