With one week in the books on the 2024 high school season, it’s time for us to announce the first addition of our Hitter of The Week award.

This weekly award will be announced each Tuesday for the previous week’s games.

CLICK HERE to nominate a player for future Hitter of The Week consideration.

In addition to selecting a Hitter of the Week, we will also select several players from the nominations to comprise an honorable mention list for the week.

This week we received a big number of nominations with performances certainly worthy of consideration, but as we combed through the stats for games played last week, we ultimately settled on one player for our first Hitter of Week in 2024.

Ethan Reynolds, a Class of 2025 IF from South Warren High School, tied for the highest max exit velocity of the Preseason All-State Showcase at 104.6 mph, and it’s no surprise he has gotten off to a red-hot start this spring.

In three games last week (two South Warren wins), Reynolds punished baseballs from the middle of the Spartans lineup. He went 6-for-10 with one double, one triple, two home runs, and eight RBIs. Add in 3 walks and a HBP, and Reynolds reached base at a .714 clip.

For his outstanding performance on the field, Ethan Reynolds has been selected as the PBR Kentucky HItter of the Week for March 11-17.
