Rameshchandra Samit Captures PL Award
Monday, May 13th, 2019
No single hit brought Rameshchandra Samit Player of the Week honors -- the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters right fielder corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat.
"Hitting is all about discipline," said Samit. "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. Samit stroked 6 hits in 12 at-bats while cranking out 2 home runs, 7 RBIs and 5 runs scored.
Presently Samit is batting .318 with 34 hits and 11 home runs. He has knocked in 32 runs and scored 22 times.
