Congratulations to the Baseball Players of the Month for September, Shin-Soo Choo and Nolan Arenado!
Choo led the entire league in average, on-base percentage and hits (tied), becoming the first player to lead in those three categories for the month of September since 1958, when Willie Mays accomplished the same feat. Choo’s strong play down the stretch helped Texas clinch its first AL West division title in four years.
Arenado hit .339 in 28 games played for the month, leading the major with 11 HR, 32 RBIs and 79 total bases. Arenado finished the season tied for the NL-lead in homers with 42 and led the entire majors with 130 RBIs.
