This Week's Star Player is Mukai Monday, August 1st , 2078 No single hit brought Joji Mukai Player of the Week honors -- the Worcester Commodores third baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Mukai. "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. Mukai stroked 10 hits in 19 at-bats while cranking out 2 home runs, 7 RBIs and 4 runs scored. For the season, Mukai is hitting .234, batted in 50 runs with 21 home runs and 49 runs scored. |
