McMahon turned in a .520 batting average (13-for-25) in six games last week to go along with two doubles, a triple, two home runs and 8 RBI. The 22-year old posted a .920 slugging percentage and a .552 on-base percentage, resulting in a 1.472 OPS. The Yorba Linda, CA native turned in multi-hit games in four of his six outings. Twice during the week McMahon finished one leg shy of the cycle, coming up a double short on July 27 and a triple away on July 29.
Before joining the Isotopes, McMahon hit to a .326 average (59-for-181) with Double-A Hartford, connecting on six home runs while recording 32 RBI in 40 games. A 2013 second round selection by the Rockies, McMahon is now hitting .360 with 17 home runs, 71 RBI, 11 stolen bases, a .403 on-base percentage and has slugged .596 combined between Double-A and Triple-A on the season.
With McMahon's award, the Isotopes have now combined for six Player/Pitcher of the Week honors during the 2017 season, tying a franchise-high set in 2008.
The Isotopes are currently in the midst of a four-game set with the Iowa Cubs. After an eight-game road trip beginning on August 3, the Isotopes will return home August 11 for a four-game series vs. the Fresno Grizzlies (Astros).
