Each week coaches will be able to nominate their players for Player Of The Week. We will have one position player and one pitcher. We will highlight other top performers in our Diamond Notes articles. Check back each week to see whose names make the list. 

Pitcher

2023, Bryce Kearson, Emmanuel College Institute
South Georgia State commit. In the season opener against Swainsboro on February 9th Kearson threw a complete game no-hitter with only 2 walks and 80 pitches. We were able to get a look at Kearson at the Georgia Dugout Club tournament. He is a competitor on the mound, and I can only assume there was no way he was coming out in his senior season debut after the first few innings of no hit ball. His fastball was 83-86, and filled up the bottom part of the zone. He was keeping hitters off balance with a breaking ball at 72-74. 

Position Player

2023, Xavier Ness, St. Pius X
Piedmont commit. In week 1 for St. Pius X (4 games) Ness posted a .693 batting average going 9 for 13 with 2 home runs and a triple. He drove in 10 runs, and scored 6. He had an OPB of .733, an OPS of 2.041 and slugged 1.308.
