Franklin Gutierrez – Hot

Guti had an incredible week for the M’s, posting a .375 batting average. The 32-year-old went 6 for 16 with 2 doubles, 3 home runs and 6 RBI. He struck out 5 times and worked 1 walk. Gutierrez registered a ..429 on base percentage and slugged a remarkable, 1.063.

The oft-injured outfielder has been one of the best stories in baseball this season. Gutierrez is hitting .313 with 7 doubles, 7 home runs and 18 RBI’s through 31 games in 2015.

Guti is no longer a candidate to be an everyday outfielder, but he has proven to be an extremely valuable role player for the Mariners this summer. He has a chance to be named Comeback Player of the Year for the American League if he continues to mash.
