The high school baseball season came to a close Monday night at Ripken Stadium. And it ended with a come-from-behind victory in the last inning of the final game. With two-time, BaltimoreBaseball.com Prep Ballplayer of the Week nominee Joe Seidler on the mound and a two-run lead in the seventh, Chesapeake-Anne Arundel...
Another week, another ‘Prep Ballplayer’ winner from my home area of Harford County. Just as it was meant to be. Aberdeen’s Anthony Cuellar used a powerful bat to slug his way into the top spot of our voting, leading the Eagles to a state semifinal in the process. He drove in seven runs...
We’re now in the final week of high school baseball in the Baltimore area. The MIAA A Conference championship begins Monday night at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen. Archbishop Spalding, which has won the past two conference titles, needs to beat Gilman once, while the Greyhounds – who last won the conference in...
Striking out 79 percent of the batters you face is pretty good for a pitcher, right? Well that’s exactly what Archbishop Spalding’s Tyler Blohm did in his final regular season game Tuesday against Archbishop Curley. No wonder he’s our ‘Prep Ballplayer of the Week’ winner.

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...
