Pitcher & Player of the Week: April 4-9
April 12, 2022
Player of the Week nominations are submitted by High School coaches across North Carolina each week. Along with the nominations, Prep Baseball Report is diving into box scores, talking to coaches and scouts, and attending as many games as possible.
PBR's staff sifts through the information sent in and seen by our scouts to determine the PBR Player of the Week every Tuesday. You can see a full list of players off to a hot start in Diamond Notes, a collection of notes, stats, and highlights from the past week, published every Wednesday during the season.
