Commonwealth Association's Best Batter Announced
It can be difficult for a young player to step out of the shadows and assert himself in the Commonwealth Association, but last week Travis Elwood of the College Square Nerd Ragers reminded everyone just why he's here as he threw up numbers that made him an easy selection for Player of the Week. Elwood rocked opposing pitching for a .500 average (8-for-16), no home runs and 1 RBIs to come away with the award.
For the year Elwood is batting .226 with 7 home runs.
MA Player of the Week Named
20-year-old Jayden Neo made a few Eastlake headlines during this past week as the rookie shortstop proved he could compete at the plate with his high-school idols. He captured the attention of fans, journalists and Massachusetts Association officials last week and today took home Player of the Week honors for his effort.
He cracked 9 hits in 16 at-bats to put up a .563 average. Neo collected no home runs, 3 RBIs and scored 4 runs.
This year Neo is hitting .323 with 94 hits, 3 home runs, 36 RBIs and has scored 37 runs.
