New Episode LIVE now! - At The Yard Podcast

Los Angeles, Calif. - Each week during the high school season we will announce the SoCal Pitcher and Player of the Week covering the action from the previous 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 recommendations from high school coaches from Southern California. 

Continuing from previous seasons, we will also be highlighting others players from across the state in our Prep Baseball California Diamond Notes that will be released weekly. Our Diamond Notes will highlight other players nominated by high school coaches that are deserving of recognition that were not named Pitcher of Player of the Week. 

PITCHER OF THE WEEK

Ismael Quintero LHP / Quartz Hill High, CA / 2024

Senior left handed pitcher Ismael Quintero of Quartz Hill High School is the SoCal Pitcher of the week. The southpaw threw 6.1 innings of no hit ball, missing the complete game no hitter due only to pitch count limits. His outing included 14 strikeouts that ranks in the Top 10 on the schools all-time list. For the season, Quintero has pitched 16 innings allowing five hits, two runs while striking out 26 batters en route to a 3-0 start. 

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Lucas Raya OF / El Dorado High, CA /

Senior Lucas Raya of El Dorado High School is the SoCal Player of the Week. Raya had the game winning RBI in a non-league game against Brea to cap off a very strong week that saw him go 4-for-7 with a double and three RBI. The uncommitted senior is off to a scorching start for the Golden Hawks hitting .455 with 5 RBI, 2 doubles, and 5 stolen bases while playing stellar defense in the field.
