The International League announced today that Louisville outfielder Luis Terrero and Gwinnett pitcher Chris Resop have been named the League’s Batter and Pitcher of the Week for the period from May 10-16. Terrero follows teammate Juan Francisco as IL Batter of the Week, marking the first time a player from Louisville won the honor in consecutive weeks since Adam Dunn did it twice in a row in June of 2001.
Terrero led the International League with four home runs and 12 RBI during the past week, which is a remarkable feat considering he entered the week with a total of zero home runs and 4 RBI through 17 games (6 with Louisville and 11 with Double-A Carolina). His power surge begun at a perfect time for his club, as Terrero hit what proved to be a game-winning 3-run homer in the bottom of the 7th Monday night against Buffalo. He crushed another three-run blast the next night, part of a 5-RBI evening. Then on Wednesday, he hit a solo shot to homer for the third straight game. One more long ball on Saturday gave him four for the week. Terrero is now hitting .333 in 13 games at the Triple-A level in 2010.
