BCL's #1 Player, Jones of Springfield Monday, July 4th, 2016 No single hit brought Nathan Jones Player of the Week honors -- the Springfield Reformers left fielder corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Jones. "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. Jones stroked 16 hits in 28 at-bats while cranking out 1 home run, 6 RBIs and 8 runs scored. This year Jones is hitting .296 with 6 home runs. |
