PITCHER OF THE WEEK | KALEB LAFAVOR
Kaleb LaFavor RHP / 1B / Sioux City Heelan, IA / 2026
LaFavor is an ultra-projectable prospect whose body screams velocity jump as more meat is added to the frame. That said, one of his outings reportedly featured a 87.6 figure -- almost a mile per hour increase from his Preseason All-State appearance in March.
The 25 strikeouts are currently 5th among pitchers in Class 3A and 3rd highest among all sophomores state-wide. |
PLAYER OF THE WEEK | KANOA LIN
KANOA LIN OF/RHP / Des Moines Roosevelt / 2024Lin was on fire this past week: 16-for-27 (.640 average) with 3 doubles, a home run, and six stolen bases. He scored 13 runs and drove in another seven. |
