An impressive four games in Reno against the Aces have earned Sacramento River Cats infielder Brett Wisely recognition from the Pacific Coast League, as he was named the PCL Player of the Week from Aug. 26-31. 

Wisely played in just four games but had multiple hits in each, going a combined 11-for-19 (.579) with seven runs scored, one double, two homers, seven RBI, one walk, and a 1.547 OPS. He scored at least twice in each of the three games he tallied a run, and his series started with homers in consecutive games on Aug. 26 and 28.

The Florida native finished the series with a four-hit game, his first of the season, scoring three times while also logging a double. His four straight multi-hit efforts are tied for the second-longest such streak on the Sacramento River Cats roster this season.

This is the first PCL weekly award in Wisely’s career, though he does have two weekly awards from the Carolina League during the 2021 campaign. Overall, this is the seventh weekly honor for the Sacramento River Cats this season, the third Player of the Week honor along with Brett Auerbach (March 28-30) and Marco Luciano (June 30-July 6).

The Sacramento River Cats’ seven honors are their most in a single season since at least 2018.
