Mizuno Player of the Week: Week 5
March 26, 2024
Each week during the high school season, we will be announcing the Mizuno Pitcher and Player of the Week for that particular week. Numerous players across the state continue to put up impressive numbers both as position players and pitchers on the mound. This year, we will be selecting one Pitcher of the Week and one Player of the Week based on nominations from high school coaches across the state. Special thank you to Mizuno for sponsoring both awards this season and for the high school coaches who nominated their players for this award.
Continuing from last year, we will also be highlighting other players from across the state in our Alabama Diamond Notes that we will release each Wednesday. Our Diamond Notes will highlight other players nominated by high school coaches that are deserving of recognition that were not named Mizuno Pitcher or Player of the Week.
Mizuno Week 5 Player of the Week

Carson Smith C / RHP / North Jackson, AL / 2024Rankings StateRank: 92 / POS: 11
Smith really separated himself from the competition last week, as he put up some gaudy numbers on the offensive side for the Chiefs and was a big reason why they debuted in this week's top-10 poll in Class 4A. A Snead State CC recruit, the right-handed hitter posted an impressive .706 batting average while going 12-for-17 in the process. Of those 12 hits on the week, four of them were doubles and two were home runs. Hitting in the heart of the order, he also drove in 10 runs while walking five times and scoring 11 times. He's been a staple for the Chiefs at the varsity level for quite some time now, and looks like he's having his best season yet leading North Jackson to a strong first-half of the season. |
