Baltimore Orioles third baseman Gunnar Henderson is the latest American League Player of the Week, Major League Baseball announced on Monday.

Henderson won the Alabama Mr. Baseball Award for 2019 while playing for Morgan Academy in Selma.

Over the past week, Henderson led the American League in batting average, on-base average and slugging percentage. He had a .526 batting average, .550 on-base average and 1.053 slugging percentage.

In five games, Henderson had 10 hits in 19 at-bats. He had five runs, one double, three home runs, six RBIs, one walk and two stolen bases.

Baltimore won four of the games.

In his final at-bat on Sunday, Henderson unloaded a home run that went a projected 462 feet in an 11-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Henderson’s homer cleared the right-field wall and became the longest hit to land on Eutaw Street during a game in Camden Yard’s 31-season history.

The Orioles selected Henderson in the second round of the 2019 draft.

After playing 29 games at the rookie-level Gulf Coast League in 2019 and missing the 2020 campaign when minor-league baseball was sidelined by the coronavirus pandemic, Henderson played at three levels of the Baltimore system in 2021.

After 47 games with the Double-A Bowie Baysox and 65 with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides in 2022, Henderson made his big-league debut on Aug. 31.

In 91 MLB games, Henderson has a .245 batting average with 46 runs, 15 doubles, three triples, 13 home runs, 39 RBIs and five stolen bases.
