Alexander Cartwright League Selects Best Performer Monday, July 7th, 2025 No single hit brought John Linttell Player of the Week honors -- the Ottawa Outlaws first baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Linttell. "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. Linttell stroked 12 hits in 25 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 8 RBIs and 7 runs scored. This year Linttell is batting .268 with 10 home runs. He has scored 23 runs and driven in 40. |
