Player of the Week: Rivera of the Grays Monday, September 6th, 2021 No single hit brought Manuel Rivera Player of the Week honors -- the Georgia Grays catcher corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Rivera. "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. Rivera stroked 10 hits in 25 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 12 RBIs and 3 runs scored. This year Rivera is batting .320 with 24 home runs and 82 RBIs. In 122 games he has scored 78 times. |
