813Preps Player of the Week – Week 7
sponsored by Play-It-Again Sports – Brandon
Our weekly Player of the Week list returns – this year sponsored by our friends at Play-It-Again Sports – Brandon. Each week our staff pick and one “fan pick” will be selected and awarded an 813Preps T-shirts (as well as sweet bragging rights). Coaches (and only coaches) can send their nominees to us at jarrettguthrie@813preps.com by no later than Monday morning. Stats for consideration are for games held Mon-Sat the previous week.
Staff Pick PotW – each week our 813Preps staff will select our “staff pick” of the five standout performers from the previous week:
Caden McDonald, Sickles
Hey, we wouldn’t pitch to him either. The Gryphons phenom went 5-for-6 in two of his team’s three wins last week, homering against Leto and Strawberry Crest, driving in eight, scoring four runs, and he pitched 6 1/3 shutout innings against the Chargers with 10 strikeouts. He good. His stats good. Trust us.

Jake Kulikowski, Jesuit
The Tigers junior was 8-for-13 last week in three Jesuit wins, doubling and tripling, while driving in three and scoring twice.

Zack McQuiston, Cambridge Christian
The Lancers junior struck out 15 pitching in two games last week, including a baker’s dozen in a shutout win against Carrollwood Day.
Lucas Phelps, Newsome
The Wolves senior went 4-for-8, with a homer, double, three RBI, three runs scored, and a stolen base in wins against Hillsborough and Riverview. Phelps is hitting .462 with 18 runs on the year.
Bryan Rivera, Leto
The Falcons junior righty struck out 11 in six shutout innings, allowing just three hits in a Leto win over Robinson. Rivera is currently 6-1, with a 1.27 ERA, while also hitting .391 with 15 RBI.
