Prep Baseball Report

KY Player Of The Week April 7-12


Chris Fuller
Kentucky Director of Scouting

There were several worthy players nominated for the Player of The Week this week, but one player’s numbers stood out, especially in the power department.

Junior IF Tyler Barnes, who has always had an intriguing bat from the left side, is really beginning to show the power side to his offensive game. Barnes went 7-for-14 last week with a double, a triple, and 4 HR’s in leading the Colonels offensive attack.

For his outstanding accomplishments on the field, Tyler Barnes has been selected as the PBR Kentucky Player of the Week for April 7-12.
