PL's #1 Player, Yasuda of ORIX Monday, April 24th, 2028 No single hit brought Tokichiro Yasuda Player of the Week honors -- the ORIX Buffaloes left fielder corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Yasuda. "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. Yasuda stroked 10 hits in 23 at-bats while cranking out 2 home runs, 11 RBIs and 5 runs scored. This season Yasuda has 7 home runs and a .234 batting average. |
