As the calendar flipped to June, several stars stepped up in a big way, powering their teams through another thrilling week of action. At the forefront were two veterans—one mashing and one dealing—who helped keep their clubs firmly in the win column.

Player of the Week – Robert Mullen (Welland Jackfish)

There’s hot—and then there’s Robert Mullen. The Welland catcher was on fire at the plate, going 10-for-16 (.625) with 3 home runs, 2 doubles, 9 RBIs, and 6 runs scored, anchoring the Jackfish offense as they surged to a franchise-best 6–0 start. A dominant week for one of the league’s premier hitters.
