This Week's Star Player is Straup Monday, July 16th , 1962 Johnson City fans have something to crow about today as Johnson City right fielder Steve Straup nabbed the Blue Ridge Baseball League Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days. "I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Straup. He posted a .238 average (5-for-21) this past week with 2 home runs, 8 RBIs, and 5 runs scored. This year Straup is hitting at a .257 pace with 16 home runs and 57 RBIs. He has played in 84 games and scored 46 times. |
