Tijuana Second Baseman Picked WL Player of the Week Monday, August 8th , 2050 No single hit brought Tony Vasquez Player of the Week honors -- the Tijuana Toros second baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Vasquez. "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. Vasquez stroked 9 hits in 25 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 6 RBIs and 6 runs scored. In his stats this season, Vasquez has posted a batting average of .349 with 99 hits in 284 at-bats, 15 home runs and 52 RBIs. He has also scored 43 runs, walked 22 times and compiled a .403 OBP. |
