Player of the Week #3

Mason Barth SS / RHP / Andrean , IN / 2025 + Barth dazzled in Week #3 - helping Andrean to an undefeated start. The 2x All-State SS was ultra-productive for the 59ers against quality opponents with a solid 7-for-12 week, though his batting average doesn't tell the full story. The Notre Dame recruit accounted for 13 total runs (6 RBI; 7 runs scored) and caused havoc on the bases with (10) stolen bases on the week. The sure handed shortstop also played a clean infield with zero errors in several chances. He was just as, if not more dominant, on the bump. Barth tossed 6.2 frames, retiring 15/20 hitters via the punchout, allowed just 2 runs, and collected a win on the mound for the 2A No. 2 59ers.  ‘25 SS Mason Barth (@MasonBarth31) led Andrean to a 7-0 win. Strong, compact S/R w obvious barrel feel, a tough out each time he steps in the box. 2 for 3 (BB) tonight w hits from both sides 👇 Also 🥊 ‘d 14 in 6 scoreless, up to 90 in the first.@NDBaseball recruit, winner. pic.twitter.com/QtmeIxroMr — Prep Baseball Indiana (@PrepBaseballIN) April 16, 2025
