KSL Player of the Week Named
Monday, May 26th, 2025
No single hit brought Matt Wilkerson Player of the Week honors -- the Albuquerque Cacti first baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat.
"Hitting is all about discipline," said Wilkerson. "When you lose focus, start to lunge at the ball and swing too aggressively... 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. Wilkerson stroked 11 hits in 31 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 8 RBIs and 6 runs scored.
Currently Wilkerson is batting .233 with 35 hits and 9 home runs. He has knocked in 28 runs and scored 20 times.
