North Carolina Player of the Week: March 17 - 23, 2025
West Stanly two-way standout Sam Carpenter (RHP/INF, Class of 2026) has been named the Prep Baseball NC Player of the Week after an impressive showing at the plate and on the mound.
Carpenter put together a dominant offensive performance, going 7-for-12 with four singles, a double, a triple, and a home run, collecting 10 RBI and scoring seven runs. His week was highlighted by hitting for the cycle on March 21, 2025, a rare feat that showcased his ability to hit for both power and contact.
On the mound, Carpenter was just as dominant, striking out 16 batters over six shutout innings while allowing just three hits in a victory over defending state champion Uwharrie Charter. He has consistently delivered against top competition, facing teams like Cuthbertson, North Stanly, and East Forsyth throughout the season.
