MID Premier Player Picked Monday, May 12th , 2098 No single hit brought Gordie Spencer Player of the Week honors -- the Beloit Snappers center fielder corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Spencer. "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. Spencer stroked 12 hits in 22 at-bats while cranking out 1 home run, 6 RBIs and 6 runs scored. Presently Spencer is batting .297 with 33 hits and 4 home runs. He has knocked in 17 runs and scored 17 times. |
