Every week, coaches around the state submit their nominations for the Prep Baseball California Player of the Week for NorCal and SoCal. Week 9 Players of the Week honors went to Jayden Morales (Maranatha, 2028) and Evan Alexander (Harvard-Westlake, 2026). Morales had a massive week at the plate, going 12-for-16 (.750) with three doubles and a triple, including back-to-back games of 4-for-5 and 5-for-5. On the season, Morales is hitting .455 with 15 RBIs while posting a 6-1 record and a 1.24 ERA on the mound.

The Penn commit showed strong command and the ability to miss bats throughout the outing.

With several other impressive performances across the past week that were in the mix for both awards and deserve recognition, here is a rundown of some of the other standouts of the week.
