The Prep Baseball Nevada High School Player of the Week highlights the best performance for a Nevada High School player from the previous week.  Each week, High School coaches across the State are asked to fill out our questionnaire for Pitcher and Player of the Week, along with our scouting staff attending games and scouring box scores throughout the week.  Every Saturday a link will be pushed out on social accounts to the Player/Pitcher of the Week questionnaire with a deadline of Saturday night at 11:59PM, followed by the announcement on Sunday.

Our Week Three 'Player of the Week' goes to Nevada's top-ranked 2026 and one of the top sophomores in the country, SS Rookie Shepard (Miami commit), of Faith Lutheran. Shepard blasted a pair of home runs, along with three doubles as the Crusaders picked up three wins in three games on the week.
