The old adage for starting pitchers is that it’s always good to “help yourself” on the mound with a few hits at the plate. Westminster’s Brandon Martin certainly did that Saturday in the Carroll County title game. Martin allowed just one run with six strikeouts, and also went 2-for-2 at the plate with...
With the regular season winding down and Mother Nature ravaging the fields around the Baltimore area for much of the week, I thought I would have a hard time finding suitable candidates for the fifth BaltimoreBaseball.com Prep Ballplayer of the Week Award. But that wasn’t the case at all. Two no-hitters and...
For the second straight week, my hometown of Harford County has taken the cake in our ‘Prep Ballplayer of the Week’ voting. Fallston’s Bryce Logan had a stellar week on and off the mound, first firing a complete game shutout against C. Milton Wright while striking out a season-high eight batters. As...
For the first time in the history of BaltimoreBaseball.com – OK, so it has only been a month, but the statement is still accurate – our readers selected a public-school athlete as our “Prep Ballplayer of the Week.” Bel Air’s Michael Yetter received more than 6,000 votes to top Calvert Hall’s Trevor...
As a Harford County native, I’m quite proud to announce Michael Yetter as our third ‘Prep Player of the Week’ winner here at BaltimoreBaseball.com. He may not attend my alma mater, C. Milton Wright, but I won’t hold that against him. Not only because I’m a nice guy, but more so because he...
In each of the first two BaltimoreBaseball.com “Prep Player of the Week” competitions, an athlete from the MIAA A Conference has received the most votes from our readers – Archbishop Spalding’s Billy Godrick in the inaugural contest and Loyola Blakefield’s Jack Sheehan in the most recent one. This week, it’s a battle...
Let’s start this by saying we had three exceptionally good candidates for this week’s BaltimoreBaseball.com’s Prep Player of the Week. Each of the three – Patterson Mill’s Austin Koehn, Chesapeake-Anne Arundel’s Joe Seidler, and Loyola Blakefield’s Jack Sheehan — garnered at least twice as many votes as any of the candidates last...
As I mentioned last week, we’re highlighting three of the area’s top high school baseball players from the previous week in a post every Monday on BaltimoreBaseball.com. Then, you can vote – early and often – for the athlete you believe should be our “Prep Player of the Week.” Last week, thanks...
Our first BaltimoreBaseball.com “Prep Player of the Week” voting is in the books. And what a first week it was. Archbishop Spalding’s Billy Godrick, who batted .700 in three games from April 4 to 10, was our first winner, beating out Severna Park’s Kody Milton and North Harford’s Colin Bowling. Let’s just...
Most of the attention on Baltimore baseball over the past week has been centered on the Orioles’ undefeated start at Camden Yards. But, around the area, the high school season has been underway for a few weeks and teams are in the middle of conference/league play. On BaltimoreBaseball.com every Monday we’ll highlight...
