Ruíz Pounds 3AAA Pitchers This Week Monday, August 15th, 2022 No single hit brought Pancho Ruíz Player of the Week honors -- the Sioux Falls Red Pandas right fielder corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Ruíz. "When you lose focus, start to lunge at the ball and swing too agressively... 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. Ruíz stroked 7 hits in 13 at-bats while cranking out 1 home run, 7 RBIs and 4 runs scored. This year Ruíz is batting .311 with 10 home runs. |
