Week's Top Performer Honored by S-A
Monday, August 30th , 2021
No single hit brought Brian Roberts Player of the Week honors -- the Atlanta Aggies left fielder corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat.
"Hitting is all about discipline," said Roberts. "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. Roberts stroked 12 hits in 24 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 7 RBIs and 7 runs scored.
For the season, Roberts has produced 128 hits in 479 at-bats for a .267 average with 29 home runs and gotten on base at a .339 clip.
