The official statistician of the American Association, Pointstreak, has announced that Victor Roache has been named this week's Pointstreak Player of the Week for the week ending June 2, 2019. The honor comes a week after Tony Rosselli earned the same honor.
For the week, the former MLB first-round selected hit a blazing .455 from the dish with a .818 slugging percentage and an OPS of 1.273.
