Eugenio Suárez Blasts His Way to NL Co-Player of the Week After Historic Power Surge
Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suárez just made MLB history—and the league is taking notice.
The veteran third baseman has officially been named National League Co-Player of the Week, and the honor couldn’t be more deserved. Suárez delivered one of the most electrifying performances of the season, crushing four home runs and racking up five RBIs in a single game against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Despite the D-backs narrowly falling 8-7 in extra innings, Suárez’s bat stole the spotlight.
With this explosive performance, Suárez etched his name into the record books, becoming just the 19th player in MLB history to hit four homers in a single game. It’s a feat that hadn’t been accomplished since former Diamondbacks standout J.D. Martinez did it in 2017.
But Suárez wasn’t done there.
Across six games last week, the D-backs’ power-hitting infielder slashed an eye-popping .400/.500/1.050, with a massive 1.550 OPS. He not only went deep four times but also drew three walks and showcased the kind of consistent, all-around dominance that turns heads across the league. Now sitting tied atop the MLB leaderboard with 10 home runs, Suárez is proving to be one of the hottest bats in baseball.
This is the second time Suárez has taken home the NL Player of the Week award this season—the first coming back on March 31—adding even more fuel to his resurgent campaign.
He wasn’t alone in the spotlight, however. Sharing NL Co-Player of the Week honors with Suárez is Los Angeles Dodgers rookie outfielder Andy Pages, who’s made a splash of his own. On the American League side, Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco earned the same recognition after a standout week.
As the Diamondbacks push to climb the standings, Suárez’s performance couldn’t have come at a better time. With his bat on fire and momentum on his side, Arizona fans have every reason to be excited—and opposing pitchers have every reason to worry.
One thing’s for sure: Eugenio Suárez isn’t just heating up—he’s making history.
