MiLB.com announced on Monday that Kingsport outfielder Wuilmer Becerra has been named the Appalachian League Player of the Week.

The Venezuelan outfielder came over to the Mets in the trade that also brought over Travis d’Arnaud, Noah Syndergaard and Travis Buck.  The Blue jays received R.A. Dickey, Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas from the Mets in December 2012.

In the past week, he batted .563/.563/1.250, 9-for-16,  with four runs scored, two doubles, three home runs, four RBI’s in four games.

Congratulations to Wuilmer on a great week at the plate.
