The Texas League announced that Tulsa Drillers outfielder Andrew Toles has been honored as the Player of the Week for the period of June 13-19. He is the third Driller to be awarded one of the weekly awards this season, after Trevor Oaks and Willie Calhoun swept the Texas League honors last week.
Toles was selected for the award after an absolutely torrid week at the plate and in the field. The outfielder, who is in his first season in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, batted a team-leading .481 with 4 doubles, 2 triples and 5 RBI while scoring 7 runs to be a major sparkplug at the top of the Tulsa lineup. During that stretch, he also came up just a home run short of the cycle on two separate occasions.
This is not the first time Toles has been recognized for his performance as the former 3rd round pick was named the Tampa Bay Rays Minor League Player of the Year and Organizational Baserunner of the Year following the 2013 season.
The Drillers begin the second half of the season tonight as they continue an 8-game homestand that will go through Sunday, June 26. Tulsa will play the Springfield Cardinals for two games before welcoming the Northwest Arkansas Naturals for a 4-game set. Fans wishing to reserve tickets for any of the games can do so.
