New York Mets third baseman David Wright has been selected as the National League's Player of the Week for games played between August 22-28. Wright batted .481 (13-for-27) with three home runs, five RBI, 10 runs scored and 25 total bases to help lead the Mets to five wins in seven games during a West Coast trip. He topped all NL players in hits, slugging percentage (.926), on-base percentage (.533) and total bases, while his 10 runs tied for the league lead.

He reached base all nine times over those two games.
