| Week's Top Performer Honored by SL1 Monday, May 19th , 2042 No single hit brought Andrew Sands Player of the Week honors -- the Fresno Rattlers shortstop corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat.
"Hitting is all about discipline," said Sands. "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. Sands stroked 13 hits in 24 at-bats while cranking out no home runs, 5 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
Thus far in 2042, Sands is hitting .355 with 7 home runs, 25 RBIs, 28 runs scored and has compiled a .406 OBP. | | |
