Cadaloba of St. Louis (R) Crowned Best Player Monday, August 1st , 2011 No single hit brought Nicolo Cadaloba Player of the Week honors -- the St. Louis (R) Lions third baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Cadaloba. "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. Cadaloba stroked 9 hits in 21 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 8 RBIs and 7 runs scored. So far this year, Cadaloba has 4 home runs and a .288 batting average. |
