This Week's Star Player is Yanagita Monday, August 15th, 2016 With some great hand-eye coordination and a sweet, compact swing, Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks center fielder Yuki Yanagita took the Pacific League by storm this past week to take the latest Player of the Week honors. "The ball was looking like a beach ball all week," a happy Yanagita said to BNN reporters. "When it's that big, it doesn't matter where they throw it -- I can hit it anywhere." The 27-year-old center fielder hit .455 (10-for-22) last week with 1 home run, 1 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Yanagita is batting .266 with 7 home runs and 25 RBIs this season. |
