Dustin Luis Pedroia currently play for the Boston Red Sox in Major League Baseball.
Dustin Pedroia became the regular second baseman for the Red Sox in 2007. He has been known to be solid defensively. Pedroia's track record throughout his college and minor league career suggested continued success in the major leagues. However, early in the season, his batting average had fallen as low as .172. Such an average along with the great hitting of fellow teammate Alex Cora (who even batted above .400 at a point), had left Pedroia in a platoon role early in this season.
However, Pedroia has since picked up his batting average. On May 1st, his average was at a season-low .172, but Pedroia had raised his average to .322 by June 18th, aided by a 13-game hitting streak and a five-hit game against the San Francisco Giants on June 15, 2007.
Due to his production, he was named American League Player of the Week for May 28-June 3, and American League Rookie of the Month for May. So that no reason to throw out his name from Rookie of the Year nominates.
