Player of the Week: Brody Black Delivers at the Plate in August Surge

Brody Black has earned Player of the Week honors for the Brantford Red Sox after a standout stretch from August 8 to August 10, where his bat came alive and helped fuel two big wins.

Over three games, Black went 9-for-12, posting a scorching .750 batting average. He scored 7 runs, drove in 2 RBIs, and launched a home run against Chatham-Kent on August 9. He also added a double, drew a walk, and stole 2 bases, showcasing his versatility and hustle. His OPS climbed to .928, reflecting a powerful mix of contact and slugging.

Black’s most dominant performance came on August 8 vs. Barrie, where he went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Brantford’s commanding 15–0 win—the team’s largest margin of victory this season. He followed that up with another 4-hit game on August 10 against Guelph, helping secure a tight 5–4 win.

With his bat heating up and his confidence growing, Brody Black is proving to be a key piece in Brantford’s late-season push.
