American shortstop Trea Turner is SportsCall’s Player of the Week!

Turner has led the United States through to the Final of the World Baseball Classic, hitting four homers homers with seven hits in 19 at-bats. His four homers are most all-time for an American player, and the biggest hits have come in the biggest moments.

In the eighth inning of the quarterfinal against Venezuela on Saturday, with the US down by two, Turner hit a go-ahead grand slam to put the US up 9-7 and through to the semi-finals. In that semi-final matchup against Cuba, Turner hit two more homers and drove in four runs in a 14-2 rout. His 10 RBI’s for the tournament are now tied for the most in WBC history.
