Kentucky Player of the Week: Atherton 2015 OF Neil DeNicola



By Chris Fulledenicolar
Kentucky Scouting Director

When you’re going good at the plate, the ball looks like a beach ball coming out of the pitcher’s hand. For Neil DeNicola, it must have looked even bigger than that.

The unsigned senior outfielder put on a power display last week in leading the Atherton offensive attack. DeNicola went 7-for-10 while scoring seven runs and driving in eight. All seven of his hits went for extra bases as he doubled three times while also hitting four home runs. In fact, DeNicola homered in four straight games, which would appear to be one game shy of the state record of five.

For his performance on the field, Neil DeNicola has been selected as the PBR Kentucky Player of the Week.
