Player of the Week: Ren Tachioka’s Bat Stays Hot in Late July Stretch

Ren Tachioka continues to shine for the Brantford Red Sox, earning Player of the Week honors for his consistent offensive output from July 25 to July 27. Despite the team’s tough results, Tachioka remained a bright spot in the lineup, delivering clutch hits and keeping the offense alive.

Across three games, he went 5-for-10, posting a scorching .500 batting average, with 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored, and a home run. His OPS climbed to 1.115, fueled by a steady mix of contact and power. Tachioka’s standout performance came on July 27 against London, where he went 2-for-5 with a double and drove in two runs.

This week’s surge adds to an already stellar season. Through 24 games, Tachioka holds a .513 batting average, with 39 hits, 8 doubles, and 22 runs scored. His ability to consistently reach base and spark rallies has made him one of the most dangerous hitters in the IBL.

As Brantford looks to turn the corner, Tachioka’s bat remains a key weapon in their lineup. Keep an eye on #14—he’s not slowing down.
