Osaka's Allemand Snaps Up Player of the Week Monday, September 4th , 2023 No single hit brought Blake Allemand Player of the Week honors -- the Osaka Shoguns second baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Allemand. "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. Allemand stroked 14 hits in 27 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 8 RBIs and 7 runs scored. This season Allemand has hit 22 home runs and posted a .345 batting average. |
