Puig has electrified the city of Los Angeles and the entire sports landscape with his unbelievable play over the past month. The native of Cuba was voted the Budweiser Presents National League Player of the Month for June as well as the National League Rookie of the Month. That marked just the fifth time since the Rookie of the Month Award was introduced in 2001 that a Player or Pitcher of the Month Award winner had garnered Rookie honors in the same calendar month. Puig also became the first to win a Player of the Month Award in his first month in the big leagues since the award was instituted in 1958.
In 26 games last month, his first in the big leagues, Puig led the Majors with a .436 (44-for-101) batting average, 44 hits and a .713 slugging percentage. The Cuba native ranked among N.L. leaders with a .467 on-base percentage (1st), 72 total bases (2nd), 19 runs scored (T-3rd) and seven home runs (T-5th). Puig's 44 hits ranked as the second-most all-time for a player in their debut calendar month, behind Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio's 48 hits in May 1936. Puig also joined DiMaggio as the only players in Major League history to record at least 40 hits while hitting at least four home runs in their first month in the Majors.
