Encarnacion Midwest League's Hottest Hitter
Monday, July 13th, 2020
No single hit brought Jerar Encarnacion Player of the Week honors -- the Clinton LumberKings left fielder corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat.

"Hitting is all about discipline," said Encarnacion. "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. Encarnacion stroked 10 hits in 24 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 14 RBIs and 9 runs scored.

For the year Encarnacion has hit .285 with 19 home runs, 64 RBIs and scored 42 runs.
