TACOMA, WA (May 5, 2025) - Dominic Canzone hammered the baseball last week in Las Vegas, clubbing his way to Pacific Coast League Player of the Week honors for April 29-May 4, the league announced on Monday.
Canzone, 27, went 7-for-19 (.368 average) with one double, four home runs, six RBI and six runs scored, with a 1.053 slugging percentage and a 1.453 OPS. Among qualified PCL hitters last week, Canzone led the league in home runs, slugging percentage, OPS and total bases, while tied for the lead with five extra-base hits and tied for fourth in runs.
Canzone picked up hits in each of the five games he played against Las Vegas, now on a season-best five-game hitting streak. He homered on Tuesday and Wednesday, his first games since returning from the Injured List. He then clubbed a pair of home runs on Sunday, logging his second multi-homer game of the season (the other: April 6 at Reno). Canzone is one of just three hitters to have two multi-home run games, joining Albuquerque’s Yanquiel Fernández and Oklahoma City’s James Outman.
The outfielder continued his exceptional hitting at Las Vegas, now with 15 career home runs in Las Vegas, the most for any visiting player at Las Vegas since 2005 and the 13th-most for any player in Las Vegas (Las Vegas or visiting) since 2005.
The Cleveland, OH native has hit .296/.345/.667 in 15 games with the Rainiers this season, having missed from April 17-28 due to a stint on the Injured List. He was recalled by Seattle on April 7 and optioned back to Tacoma on April 13, appearing in two games with the Mariners, going 0-for-3.
Canzone is the first Rainier to win the Pacific Coast League’s Player of the Week award since Brian O’Keefe did so on August 6, 2023. He is the second weekly award winner for Tacoma in 2025, joining Logan Evans, who was named the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week for April 8-13.
The Rainiers return home on Tuesday, May 6, for a six-game series against the Sacramento River Cats, with first pitch on Tuesday scheduled for 6:05 PM.
