Chavez on a Hot Streak, NBL Player of the Week Monday, July 21st , 1975 Pittsburgh fans have something to crow about today as Pittsburgh center fielder Carlos Chavez nabbed the National 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 Chavez. He posted a .545 average (12-for-22) this past week with 1 home run, 5 RBIs, and 7 runs scored. This season, Chavez is swinging the bat at a .316 rate with 103 hits in 326 at-bats. To date he has hit 4 home runs, scored 63 runs and driven in 42. |
