Each week during the high school season, we will be announcing the Mizuno Pitcher and Player of the Week for that particular week. Numerous players across the state continue to put up impressive numbers both as position players and pitchers on the mound. This year, we will be selecting one Pitcher of the Week and one Player of the Week based on nominations from high school coaches across the state. Special thank you to Mizuno for sponsoring both awards this season and for the high school coaches who nominated their players for this award.

Continuing from last year, we will also be highlighting other players from across the state in our Alabama Diamond Notes that we will release each Tuesday. Our Diamond Notes will highlight other players nominated by high school coaches that are deserving of recognition that were not named Mizuno Pitcher or Player of the Week.

Stats from Week 8

+

+ RHP/SS Connor Gehr (Gulf Shores, 2024), an uncommitted junior, showed why he is one of the top two-way prospects still on the market in the junior class in AL with another strong week for the Dolphins as they prepare for the Class 5A Playoffs. Gehr made an impact on both sides of the ball this week while tossing a complete-game shutout and hitting over .600 in batting average offensively. On the mound, the right-hander went 1-0, 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, & 9 Ks while also hitting 6-for-9 (.667) with a double, three RBIs, four runs scored, and a pair of stolen bases.
