2023 PITCHER OF THE WEEK

The Louisiana High School Pitcher of the Week highlights the best individual pitching performance for a Louisiana high school player from the previous week.  Each week, high school coaches are emailed and asked to send in their nominees for Pitcher and Player of the Week.  If you wish to nominate someone for Player or Pitcher of the Week, please email Alex Armand at [email protected]

While there can only be one pitcher and player of the week, our Diamond Notes are intended to shine a spotlight on other noteworthy performances from the previous week.

A lot has changed for Sawyer Pruitt since he attended the Jr. Future Games, as a 13 year-old, back in 2020.  He's grown probably half a foot and has also grown a lot on the mound this year for Live Oak.  The uncommitted right-handed hurler took the ball last Thursday night against St. Michael's, and turned in his best performance of the year, as he tossed a complete game no-hitter with only 2 BB's and 16 K's.  Pruitt's stock has been steadily rising over the last few weeks and we expect that to continue, as we move into the second half of the season.
