dp Staff

Each week during the High School season DP announces a player, pitcher & team of the week. The selection process is based on players stats, observations/recommendations from our staff and prep coaches who weigh in with a nomination. Once again, DP was able to lay eyes on quite a few teams across our state as the regular season begins to wind down. We look forward to continue bringing this to you every week as we highlight these prospects and a team that performs at a high level. As you know, these selections are never easy, but we will give it our best shot! Coaches who submit a viable candidate certainly helps! -Pitcher of the Week- Scout Gilfillan – 2025, Gaffney, RHP, Spartanburg Methodist signee: In what turned out to be Gilfillan’s final high school game, it was one to remember.
