 | FFL's Star Player Named Monday, June 1st, 2015 No single hit brought Yukio Kouno Player of the Week honors -- the Phoenix Lights first baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Kouno. "When you lose focus, start to lunge at the ball and swing too agressively... swinging at a lot of bad pitches... that's when your average starts to drop and you wind up fighting for playing time. You're most successful when you concentrate on the ball and make 'em throw strikes." Concentrate he did. Kouno stroked 13 hits in 23 at-bats while cranking out 1 home run, 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Batting .293 to date, Kouno has 4 home runs and 25 RBIs. |   |
