Josh Palacios and Mike Jarvis Earn Player of the Week Honors

Published:

Minor League Baseball announced their weekly Player of the Week winners on Monday afternoon. Two Pittsburgh Pirates picked up recognition, with Josh Palacios winning the Player of the Week for the International League, while Mike Jarvis won the same award for the South Atlantic League. Both players were part of our weekly look at the top performers in the system.

Palacios began the 2023 season with Altoona. He joined Indianapolis just over a week ago, when injuries created some openings at the level. He went 10-for-18 last week, with four doubles, three homers, 13 RBIs and six walks, leading to a 2.056 OPS in 24 plate appearances.

The 27-year-old Palacios is hitting .328/.414/.607 for the season over 15 games, while seeing time at all three outfield spots.

Jarvis had a .412 average and a 1.739 OPS over 18 plate appearances last week. He had seven hits, including a double, triple and four homers for Greensboro.

The 25-year-old infielder is hitting .279/.406/.672 over 17 games this year, with 20 runs, four doubles, six homers, 16 RBIs and he’s 8-for-8 in steals.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
