Prep Baseball Louisiana: Diamond Notes (Week 6)
April 3, 2024
The Prep Baseball Louisiana Diamond Notes serves as an opportunity for our staff to highlight players, from across the state, that put up impressive performances on a given week, yet fell short of our Mizuno Player & Pitcher of the Week honors.
NOTE: These submissions were provided from high school coaches from around the state. If you are a coach and are interested in submitting a player for our weekly Player of the Week awards, please contact State Director Alex Armand at [email protected]. Our Diamond Notes will be released each Wednesday throughout the high school spring season.
Player of the Week
Kaiden Broussard LHP / Central Private, LA / 2024Central Private went a perfect 4-0 last week and Broussard was a big reason for the Hawks success. The Baton Rouge Community College recruit went 6-11 (.545) at the plate with 3 HR, 1 2B, and 10 RBI. The majority of his damage done was last Saturday in a big matchup with one of the top Non-Select D-II teams in Brusly. In that game alone, Broussard went 3-3 with 2 HR, 4 RBI, and 2 R. He also was magnificent on the mound for the Hawks, as he earned the win, after tossing 6 2/3 IP giving up 7 H and 1 ER with 1 BB and 3 K's.
