Partridges Galtero Perrone Wins JPNTA Award: No single hit brought Galtero Perrone Player of the Week honors -- the Barinitas Partridges second baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat.
"Hitting is all about discipline," said Perrone. "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. Perrone stroked 10 hits in 21 at-bats while cranking out 1 home run, 9 RBIs and 5 runs scored.
This season in 75 games, Perrone has hit at a .271 clip with 79 hits, 11 home runs, 60 RBIs and 39 runs scored.
