PORTLAND — The Eastern League has selected Portland Sea Dogs second baseman Sean Coyle as the Eastern League Player of the Week for the week of June 23-29.

Coyle appeared in six games last week for the Sea Dogs, where he hit .524 (11-for-21) with two doubles, a triple, two home runs, 12 RBIs, and scored seven runs. Coyle led the league in average (.524), RBIs (12), walks (7), slugging % (1.000), and OBP % (.643). He also ranked among the league leaders for the week in hits (second), home runs (tied for second), runs scored (second), and extra base hits (second). The 22-year-old hit safely in all six games he appeared during the week. He collected a season-high five RBIs on June 29 and fell a home run shy of the cycle in a 13-9 win at Reading. He collected three hits and reached base safely four times on June 26 and June 29 at Reading. On June 26 he hit a three-run double in the seventh inning, collecting the game-winning RBI as the Sea Dogs went on to defeat Reading 9-4.

In 52 games this season, Coyle is hitting .363 (65-for-179) with 16 doubles, a triple, nine home runs, and 38 RBIs. Since coming off the disabled list on May 23, he’s leading the Eastern League in hitting at .385 (47-for-122), with seven home runs, 28 RBIs and 13 doubles. Coyle entered the season ranked as the Red Sox No. 30 prospect according to Baseball America. The Chalfont, Pennsylvania resident was selected by the Red Sox in the third round of the 2010 draft.

Coyle is the second-straight Sea Dogs infielder to earn the honor, and third this season, as Sea Dogs shortstop Deven Marrero took home the honors last week. Mookie Betts was tabbed the Eastern League Player of the Week for the opening week of the 2014 season. Additionally, Sea Dogs pitchers Henry Owens, Mike McCarthy and Brian Johnson have all earned Eastern League Pitcher of the Week honors this season.
