CHAVEZ YOUNG WINS PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD

AVON, OH – For the second time this season, the first-place Québec Capitales earned a Player of the Week Award. Outfielder Chavez Young slashed .571/.655/.857 to claim the honor this week.

Québec Capitales outfielder Chavez Young reached base four times in each of his team’s three games against the Brockton Rox. Young began his week with a perfect day at the plate, going 4-for-4 with two doubles and a steal on Tuesday. Young collected two more hits on Wednesday, along with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. In the series finale, Young drew two more hit-by-pitches and tallied two hits. 

In the Capitales’ final series before the All-Star break, Young — an All-Star himself — hit his first home run of the week in a Friday loss to the Trois-Rivières Aigles. Young picked up hits in each of Québec’s final two games of the series, both wins. He finished the week with three doubles, a home run, eight RBI, and three stolen bases. 

Young is in his first season with the Frontier League. He joined the Capitales after spending parts of the previous two seasons with the American Association’s Lake County DockHounds and Kane County Cougars. Young spent parts of eight seasons playing Minor League Baseball for three different organizations. He also played for Team Great Britain in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.
