New Jersey's Metson Gets PL Player of the Week Monday, July 10th , 2045 No single hit brought Kai Metson Player of the Week honors -- the New Jersey Athletics center fielder corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Metson. "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. Metson stroked 11 hits in 26 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 7 RBIs and 8 runs scored. So far this year, Metson is batting .342 with 13 home runs and 31 RBIs. |
