 | Clements in Select Company, Bats .443 Tuesday, September 28th, 2010: Jack Clements joined a very select group today as he closed out 2010 with a torrid .443 batting average. It was a fantastic year for the Cabrini catcher as he became the newest member of baseball's .400 club. During the season he stroked 276 hits, including 53 doubles, 8 triples and 21 home runs. Clements also scored 103 times and drove in 118 runs. Asked by the media what's the hardest part of hitting .400, he glibly replied, "Getting 4 hits in every 10 at-bats." Then, speaking seriously, Clements added, "Staying out of slumps is important. You have to be focused in every game and in every at-bat. Don't swing at anything but strikes... and stay away from any pitch you can't hit." |
