Otsuka Sticks it to CL Pitchers Monday, June 5th, 2017 Hanshin fans have something to crow about today as Hanshin center fielder Mitsuzuka Otsuka nabbed the Central League Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days. "I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Otsuka. He posted a .556 average (10-18) this past week with 2 home runs, 4 RBIs, and 4 runs scored. Otsuka is hitting .351 this year with 13 home runs and 40 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .431, 27 walks and scored 41 times. |
