The 2026 season has culminated in a fierce competition for the final Baseball Player of the Week honor, an accolade sponsored by White Plains Hospital and decided by coaches across the region.
Connor Brice of Tuckahoe emerged as a dominant force on the mound, tossling just two hits while striking out 14 batters in a 2-0 victory over Port Jefferson during the state Class C regional final. His composure under pressure has made him a frontrunner in the vote.
Ryan Hogan of Iona Prep combined hitting prowess with clutch base running, finishing 3-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBIs as the Gaels secured a 12-7 win over Stepinac in the deciding game of the CHSAA Intersectional Tournament Championship.
Aiden LaSalle from Stepinac contributed heavily at the plate, going 4-for-6 over the tournament's final two games against Iona Prep, helping his team stay alive in the championship series.
Dylan Senior of Mamaroneck, despite his team's 8-5 loss to Monroe-Woodbury in the state regional Class AAA final, drove in three of the Tigers' five runs, showcasing his ability to deliver in high-stakes moments.
The Road to the Final Vote
With each nominee delivering standout performances in critical games, the coaches' selections reflect not only individual statistics but also the impact on their teams' postseason journeys. The final vote will determine the player who receives the week's top honor, celebrating excellence both on the mound and at the plate.
The award ceremony, scheduled to be streamed online, will feature highlights from the week's most memorable games and will recognize the nominees for their contributions to high school baseball this season.
