<p>Spencer Horwitz has been mashing lately.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The No. 18 ranked prospect of the Toronto Blue Jays (<a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/bluejays">according to MLB Pipeline</a>) was named International League Player of the Week after going 15-for-28 with three home runs and 10 runs batted in across six games for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. He&#8217;s the first member of the Bisons to win the award this season.</p>

<p>After Horwitz&#8217;s huge week, he now has a .319 batting average and an .898 OPS for the season, along with seven home runs, six stolen bases, and a 57-to-55 strikeout-to-walk ratio.</p>
<p>The Blue Jays added Horwitz to the 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft last winter. He got off to a strong start for the Bisons and was called up to the Blue Jays to make his big league debut in June. Over three games in the Majors, Horiwtz went 2-for-8 with two singles and two walks along with his first RBI.</p>
<p>A switch hitter who plays in the corner outfield positions and first base, Horwitz could figure into Toronto&#8217;s plans in the second half of the season. He boasts a 1.011 OPS as a right-handed hitter against left-handed pitchers for the Bisons this season and the Blue Jays badly need some help when it comes to hitting lefties.</p>
