Each week throughout the high school season, we will announce the Mizuno Pitcher and Player of the Week, recognizing standout performances from across the state. With numerous players excelling both at the plate and on the mound, this award will be based on nominations from high school coaches statewide. A special thank you to Mizuno for sponsoring these awards and to the coaches for their nominations.

Additionally, we will continue our Alabama Diamond Notes, released every Wednesday, to highlight other deserving players nominated by coaches who were not selected as the Mizuno Pitcher or Player of the Week.

Mizuno Week 1 Pitcher of the Week

Paxton Stallings RHP / 3B / Chelsea, AL / 2025 Paxton Stallings was lights out on the mound in Week 1, tossing two complete-game shutouts to lead his team to a strong start at the Prep Baseball Kickoff Classic and South Alabama Showdown. The right-hander went 2-0, allowing just four hits over 14 scoreless innings while striking out 10 against tough opponents in Central-Phenix City and Mobile Christian, two powerhouse programs in the state of Alabama. Stallings looks poised to continue to lead the Hornets on both sides of the ball this spring.
