Xiang Selected CL Player of the Week Monday, May 5th, 2025 With some great hand-eye coordination and a sweet, compact swing, Chunichi Dragons first baseman Jang-lu Xiang took the Central League by storm this past week to take the latest Player of the Week honors. "The ball was looking like a beach ball all week," a happy Xiang said to BNN reporters. "When it's that big, it doesn't matter where they throw it -- I can hit it anywhere." The 19-year-old first baseman hit .421 (8-for-19) last week with 4 home runs, 11 RBIs and 7 runs scored. Xiang is hitting .288 this year with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .371, 19 walks and scored 30 times. |
