Pete Crow-Armstrong and Logan Gilbert Shine as MLB Players of the Week

Major League Baseball has recognized outstanding performances by naming Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs as the National League Player of the Week and Logan Gilbert of the Seattle Mariners as the American League Player of the Week for the period of June 15-21. Colby Thomas of the Oakland Athletics also earned Player of the Week honors for his spectacular catch.

Crow-Armstrong, a center fielder for the Cubs, had an explosive week at the plate. He achieved baseball's "cycle" – a single, double, triple, and home run – for the first time in the 2026 season and the 13th time in his team's history. Over five games, Crow-Armstrong amassed 11 hits in 20 at-bats, including a double, a triple, and four home runs. He drove in seven runs and extended his hitting streak to 10 games, while his on-base streak reached 23 games, marking his second Player of the Week award this season.

The family genes are good.

On the pitching side, Gilbert delivered two dominant starts for the Mariners. The 29-year-old right-hander pitched 13.1 innings, surrendering only five hits and two earned runs. He recorded an impressive 18 strikeouts against just three walks, significantly lowering his earned run average to 3.29 following these quality outings.

Rounding out the weekly accolades, Thomas, an outfielder for the Athletics, secured the Play of the Week award. He made an incredible leaping catch at the wall to rob Jo Adell of a potential home run. Thomas perfectly timed his jump in the "catchable zone," securing the ball just over the fence and falling backward against the wall, a play that drew cheers from his pitcher and disbelief from the batter.

You are so handsome. Personally, I think you are a good person, but I hope you don't come to the club.
