Nate Colbert

National League Announces #1 Player

Not every ball that came off Nate Colbert's bat last week was a line drive or a towering shot -- it just seemed that way to the teams that played the San Diego Padres. For his exploits, Colbert was named this week's National League Player of the Week award.

The San Diego first baseman put up 9 hits in 27 at-bats and 4 home runs while hitting .333 with 11 RBIs and 7 runs scored.

This season in 53 games, Colbert has hit at a .225 clip with 45 hits, 15 home runs, 40 RBIs and 26 runs scored.
