Week 10 Player & Pitcher of the Week
May 15, 2023
Each week during the high school season, the PBR Colorado staff will announce our 'Players of the Week' awards for that particular week. Numerous players from across the state will continue to perform and put up numbers weekly, though only one position player and one pitcher can take home this award each week. Below you'll see which players have earned our 'Player of the Week' honor this spring season. We will also highlight those that fell short in our weekly 'Diamond Notes' article, where you can learn more about the standout names across the CHSAA.
NOTE: These submissions were provided from high school coaches from around our state. If you are a coach and interested in nominating a player, please contact Josh Reynolds ([email protected]).

Matt Hansen SS / OF / Air Academy, CO / 2024The BYU commit made his presence known in week 10 as he went 8 for 10 with 4 home runs, a triple, 16 RBI, a hit by pitch, 3 walks, and a stolen base across 3 games. Hansen is hitting .571 in his junior year with 8 homers, and a 1.896 OPS as we lock him in as player of the week in week 10. Hansen is one of the top bats in the 2024 class and has gotten his exit-velocity up to 105 at times during PBR showcases.

Tate Smith RHP / Eaton, CO / 2023Smith was dominant in just 5 innings of work last week against Valley, racking up 13 Ks and allowing zero hits while walking just 2 batters. The Eaton Reds ended this game in 5 innings thanks to their bats, so this shortened no-hitter for Smith gives him a 1.47 ERA in 2023 with 42 Ks in only 19 innings pitched. The Oklahoma State commit is one of Colorado's top arms and is flat-out overpowering the 3A level.
