Hope you like nicknames and record-breakers, because that's all we got for you here! It's always fun to have fun and that's what rookies are all about, so let's get started: Rhys Hoskins 8/20: 2-for-5, one home run (5), one RBI (9), two runs (8, 9) 8/22: 1-for-4, one home run (6), two RBIs (10, 11), one run (10) 8/22 (double-header): 1-for-3, one walk (9) 8/23: 2-for-3, one home run (7), FIVE RBIs (12-16), one run (11) 8/24: 2-for-5, one home run (8), three RBIs (17, 18, 19), two runs (12, 13) 8/25: 1-for-3, one home run (9), two RBIs (20, 21), one run (14) 8/26: 2-for-4, one home run (10), two RBIs (22, 23), one run (15) 8/27: 1-for-4, one home run (11), one RBI (24), one run (16) Through 8 Games- Hits: 12 Runs: 9 Home Runs: 7 RBIs: 16 Average: .387 On-Base Percentage: .441 Nickname for Players Weekend: He did not get into the Majors in time for this, but he would have had 'Hosk' or 'Big Hosk'. What a shame... Congrats to Hoskins for being the fastest player to hit 10 home runs in Major League history! Also for having the most RBIs for a Phillies rookie in 46 years. This player is truly special for the future of the Phillies. Andrew Benintendi 8/20: 2-for-5 8/21: 2-for-4, one run (64), one home run (18), two RBIs (69, 70) 8/22: 1-for-5, one double (18), one run (65), one RBI (71) 8/23: 1-for-3, one walk (52) 8/24: 1-for-5 8/25: 0-for-4 8/26: O-for-4 8/27: 1-for-3, two walks (53, 54) Through 8 Games- Hits: 8 Runs: 2 Home Runs: 1 RBIs: 3 Average: .242 On-Base Percentage: .306 Nickname for Players Weekend: Benny Why?: Benintendi told mlb.com, "Benny was something my dad's friends called him when he was younger... One of my dad's college teammates was my coach when I played as a kid, and he called me Benny, and it just kind of went from there. My friends at Arkansas called me Benny, so I just kept it simple." Tribute patch: Mom Dad Olivia Lilly, for his parents and two sisters who attend games when they can. Hoping that Benintendi will join the 20+ club for all the other rookies who are waiting for him to help make history and one of the best power-hitting rookie classes in the MLB. Paul DeJong 8/20: 0-for-5 8/22: 0-for-4 8/23: 1-for-4, 8/24: 3-for-4, one run (36), one double (18) 8/25: 1-for-4 8/26: 1-for-4, one run (37), one RBI (49) 8/27: 1-for-5 Through 7 Games- Hits: 7 Runs: 2 RBIs: 1 Average: .233 On-Base Percentage: .258 Nickname for Players Weekend: DeJong. Why?: Pauly D was taken, I guess. Tribute patch: Family, for his best supporters. DeJong's three-hit game is his eighth of the season and ties Cody Bellinger for the most among NL rookies. Other NicknamesRafael Devers, BOS: Carlita, which means baby face in Spanish.
Dansby Swanson, ATL: Dans Trey Mancini, BAL: Trey, because his real name is Anthony.
