Player of the Year

2017 Paxton Wallace CIF/RHP, Greenbrier HS
Wallace is a 6-foot 200-pound corner infielder/ right-handed pitcher with a large frame and a physical build. He attacks the baseball with fast bat speed producing exit velocities over 95 mph. He is a solid defender at either corner with a smooth transition and a strong accurate arm. On the mound his health will be key to Greenbrier, he has shown a strong arm and a feel to pitch, if he can be consistent they will definitely be a challenger. Overall the most versatile player in the classification.
