Caballero 5-5 for Mermen Thursday, August 17th, 2017 "It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said José Caballero after his 5-hit performance against the Pyramids. "No offense meant to Paynesville, but it was like I was back in little league again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Tennille Grounds." The Myrtle Beach shortstop had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and pacing his club to a 13-1 victory. His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "José worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits." "That's what I'm trying to do," Caballero said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it." José Caballero hit a solo-shot off Karl Schultz in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 7th and doubled in the 8th. Caballero is hitting .262 so far this season with 23 RBIs and 49 runs scored. He has 99 hits including 4 home runs, 14 walks and .296 OBP. |
