Each Monday during the High School season DP is going to announce a player, pitcher & team over the previous seven-day period. The selection process is based on players stats, observations/recommendations from our staff and prep coaches who weigh in with a nomination. This past week, dp was able to lay eyes on quite a few teams across our state mid-year. We look forward to bringing this to you every Monday as we highlight these prospects and a team that perform at a high level. As you know, these selections are never easy, but we will give it our best shot! Going forward, coaches who submit a viable candidate certainly helps!
-Pitcher of the Week-
Ian McCrary – 2025, DW Daniel, RHP, Uncommitted: This past week the Lions had a couple of huge region matchups versus one of the top ranked teams in 3A, the Crescent Tigers. McCrary delivered on Wednesday night as they were victorious by a score of 1-0. In his seven innings of work he allowed five hits, one walk and punched out nine batters.
