Congratulations to the Baseball Players of the Month for July,
Carlos Gonzalez and Mike Trout!
Carlos Gonzalez and Mike Trout!
Gonzalez led the entire majors in total bases with 74 and led the NL in home runs, RBIs and slugging percentage. The highlight of his month was a four day stretch that included three multi-homer games.
Trout won the player of the month award for the third time in his illustrious career. Despite missing a few days due to a wrist injury, he finished first in the AL in home runs, slugging percentage and on-base percentage and was tied for the league lead in RBIs. Trout won his second straight All-Star Game MVP and also hit the longest home run in the majors for the month (476.54 feet), which ironically came in Gonzalez’s home ballpark, Coors Field, back on July 8.
