 | Takeuchi Caps Great Week Monday, August 26th, 2013: There's nothing like being in the prime of your baseball career -- and playing like it. Just ask Kohei Takeuchi, the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham shortstop, who swung a sweet bat all week to not only aid his team, but also pick up the Pacific League Player of the Week honors.
Takeuchi piled up 5 hits in 14 at-bats, 3 home runs and 9 RBIs while hitting .357.
Takeuchi is swinging at a .281 pace on the year with 23 home runs, 78 RBIs and 72 runs scored. He has played in 82 games. |   |
