Jimenez Takes This Week's Trophy Monday, August 18th , 2098 No single hit brought Pedro Jimenez Player of the Week honors -- the Norfolk Tides shortstop corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Jimenez. "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. Jimenez stroked 12 hits in 23 at-bats while cranking out 2 home runs, 9 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Thus far this season Jimenez has hit .216 with 6 home runs, 38 RBIs and scored 36 times. |
