25-Game Hitting Streak for Kobayashi
Tuesday, May 19th, 2015
And the hits just keep on coming -- especially off the red-hot bat of Takanibu Kobayashi. The Mustangs center fielder got 2 hits in 4 at-bats in today's 5-4 triumph over the Coronado Phantoms at Cobb Field. Kobayashi has now hit safely in his last 25 games.
Asked by the press, how it feels to go through something like this, he replied, "the longer it goes on, the more the pressure intensifies. The press coverage can get relentless at times. I wish I could just go out and play the game without all this distraction, but I know that's not going to happen. I know I will just have to grin and bear it." Takanibu Kobayashi grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th and flied out in the 7th.
Kobayashi is currently hitting at a .323 pace with 3 home runs, 16 RBIs and has scored 33 times.
