NOTE: These submissions were provided from high school coaches from around the state. If you are a coach and are interested in submitting a player for our weekly Player of the Week awards, please contact State Director Alex Armand at [email protected].

Troy Green RHP / OF / Slidell, LA / 2025Rankings StateRank: 34 / POS: 10
The LSU-Eunice recruit started off his senior year with a bang at our Slidell Scout Day, back in January, by running his fastball up to a personal-best 93 mph. Green has been virtually unhittable this spring for the Tigers and his start last week against Fontainebleau may have been his best. He earned the win against the Bulldogs after tossing a complete game one-hit shutout with only 1 walk and 15 strikeouts, as Slidell beat Fontainebleau by a score of 2-0. Over his last four starts, he's posted a 3-1 record and has racked up 46 strikeouts.
