Seiya Suzuki’s Hot Streak Earns NL Player of the Week

Seiya Suzuki has been named the National League Player of the Week after a dominant stretch at the plate — a performance marked by precision, power, and poise under pressure. The Chicago Cubs outfielder delivered across every category, reinforcing his role as a cornerstone of the team’s offense.

Over six games, Suzuki hit an astonishing .480 (12-for-25), slugged 3 home runs, lined 4 doubles, drove in 10 RBIs, scored 9 runs, and drew 4 walks. This stretch wasn’t just statistically impressive — it was a critical spark for a Cubs team navigating a tightly packed NL Central race.

His impact started with a two-game series against the Miami Marlins, where Suzuki collected multiple hits and launched a deep home run that ignited the Cubs’ offense. He showed discipline at the plate, laying off breaking balls out of the zone and punishing fastballs in the heart of it. Against the Cincinnati Reds, Suzuki’s bat stayed hot, delivering key extra-base hits and a game-winning two-run homer in a pivotal rubber match. His final game of the week came against the Colorado Rockies, where he reached base three times and drove in two runs, helping seal a comeback win at home.

What stood out most wasn’t just the stat line — it was how Suzuki produced. Whether adjusting to off-speed pitching or reacting to high-velocity fastballs, he displayed elite hand-eye coordination and fast reaction time. His ability to remain balanced and in control through every at-bat speaks to his mental toughness and deep focus — hallmarks of top-tier athletic performance.
