Diamond Notes: Week of April 8 - April 13
April 17, 2024
Diamond Notes is a weekly compilation of notes on South Carolina players from last week. Each week Coaches from across the state send in player notes and stats as the Prep Baseball staff is working to name a PB Player of the Week. Prep Baseball scouts are also compiling player notes from attended games, as well as box scores from across the state.
Below we take a look at some of the top performers from the second week of the high school season. The SC Pitcher of the Week was Collin Anderson from James Island Charter. Stow Rogers from James Island Charter earned Player of the Week Honors.
