Youngster
Mathieu Coutu emerged as the latest Republic League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from
Tokyo deserved the honor, batting .344 with 8 home runs and 25 runs batted in. Is the month of May a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let
Coutu enjoy the limelight.
