Pilsner Announces #1 Player Monday, July 7th , 2059 No single hit brought Luke Johnson Player of the Week honors -- the Albany Chiefs first baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Johnson. "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. Johnson stroked 4 hits in 5 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 4 RBIs and 4 runs scored. So far this year in 56 games Johnson is hitting .226 with 7 home runs, 18 RBIs and 23 runs scored. |
