If, as a baseball fan, you like to see the long ball, there was no better place to be last week than watching Boyle County right-handed pitcher/first baseman Casey Whittle.

In four games last week (3 wins), Whittle put on a display of power.  The senior left-handed hitter launched four home runs and collected seven RBI in the four-game span.

In addition to the power surge at the plate, Whittle was also dealing on the mound.  He fired a complete game against rival Danville, allowing one earned run on four hits in a 13-1 victory.

In honor of his performance on the field, Casey Whittle has been named the Kentucky Player of the Week.
