Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Our Week 7 Edition of Diamond Notes are here, as we highlight some of the top performances, from across the state in Week 7 (04/03/23-04/09/23), as well as our Player of the Week and Pitcher of the Week.  To submit your player(s) for next week's edition of Diamond Notes, please email Alex Armand ([email protected]) with the player's name, class, position, and any relevant statistics from the week.  We are fired up for what's in store in Week 8 and the rest of the season!

 

Pitcher of the Week

Camden Sunstrom RHP / 3B / University, LA / 2024

Sunstrom was a 1st Team All-State selection a year ago and was a member of our Future Games team last summer.  The Southern Mississippi commit has been U-High's #1 on the mound since last season, so it was no surprise to see him take the ball in the Cubs district matchup against a stout Doyle team last Tuesday, and he delivered a brilliant performance.  Sunstrom ended up tossing a complete game (91 pitches: 65 strikes 26 balls), giving up only 1 H and 0 ER with 3 BB and 12 K's. 

 

 

Player of the Week

Jackson Landry 1B / OF / Ascension Catholic, LA / 2024

A member of our Future Games team last summer; Landry hit double digit home runs last year as a junior and he's well on his way to getting there again.  Last week, the University of Louisiana-Monroe commit went 11-13 (.846) at the plate with 4 HR, 4 2B, 12 R, and 13 RBI in four games, helping improve the Bulldogs record to 19-6 on the season.
