Matt Kemp made a powerful, powerful impression last week, going 9 for 22 with five home runs and nine RBI in six games, along with two walks and a steal. He had a .458 on-base percentage, 1.091 slugging percentage and 1.549 OPS. So, yeah, that was enough to make him National League Player of the Week.

Kemp is no stranger to the award, having become the only player ever to win it three times in a row (the final week of the 2011 season and the first two weeks of 2012). He also won April 28-May 4, 2008.

Over his past two months, Kemp has a .397 on-base percentage, .530 slugging percentage and .927 OPS.
