 | Sugiyama Red-Hot, PL Player of the Week Monday, August 15th, 2016 Motoichi Sugiyama must have thought he died and went to heaven this week. First he went on a remarkable batting rampage, hammering the ball at a .571 clip, then the ORIX first baseman finds outs he has been voted the league's top performer and gets the PL Player of the Week Award. For the week Sugiyama batted .571 (8-14) with 2 home runs and 5 RBIs. So far this year in 63 games Sugiyama is hitting .290 with 14 home runs, 50 RBIs and 41 runs scored. |   |
