At The Yard Podcast: New Episode LIVE now!

The Prep Baseball California High School Hitter of the Week highlights the best individual pitching performance for a Louisiana high school player from the previous week.  Each week, high school coaches are emailed and asked to send in their nominees for Pitcher and Player of the Week.  If you wish to nominate someone for Player or Pitcher of the Week, please be sure to fill out this form before noon on Mondays. 

While there can only be one pitcher and player of the week, our Diamond Notes, which are released every Wednesday, are intended to shine a spotlight on other noteworthy performances from the previous week.

WEEK 2 HITTER OF THE WEEK

2025 SS/RHP Wylan Rottschafer - Costa Mesa HS

The Concordia-Irvine signee was a wrecking ball in helping the Mustangs get off to a 4-0 start to their season. 

Facing off against Bishop Amat, Rottschafer was 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, and two runs scored. The RBI came on a deep blast for a homerun coming from the leadoff spot. After drawing a walk in his first at-bat, he advanced to third on a double before scoring on a base hit through the right side. The home run came in his second at-bat that saw him take an inner-half fastball deep over the left field fence to put the Mustangs up 3-0. He would add a line drive base hit to right field in his next at-bat. 

And if his offensive performance in that game wasn’t enough, he would add a perfect 5-for-5 day with four RBI and three runs scored later in the week. 

For good measure, Rottschaffer also added a win and two saves to his resume for the week. 

It was a dominant week for Rottschafer who has led the Mustangs to a perfect 4-0 start to the 2026 campaign.  

We salute junior Wylan Rottschafer of Costa Mesa High School on earning the Prep Baseball California Hitter of the Week.
