Fields Caps Great Week Monday, July 12th, 2021 No single hit brought Richard Fields Player of the Week honors -- the Hickory Crawdads first baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat. "Hitting is all about discipline," said Fields. "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. Fields stroked 12 hits in 22 at-bats while cranking out 1 home run, 10 RBIs and 4 runs scored. This season Fields is batting .307 with 81 hits, 18 home runs, 64 RBIs, 39 walks, .409 OBP and has scored 50 runs. He has played in 78 games. |
