2025 KSHSAA Diamond Notes: Week 5
May 2, 2025
Each week, KSHSAA coaches around the state submit to us their nominations for the Prep Baseball Kansas Player of the Week. While we can only pick one, there are always a number of other impressive performances that were in the mix for the award and deserve recognition.
Here’s a look at some of the most notable from week five (April 21th-April 28th):

Cru Huenfeld 1B / LHP / St. Thomas Aquinas, KS / 2025.500 avg (5-for-10) with 2 2B, 2 HR, and a 1B, 7 RBI, 7 BB and 3 stolen bases - also a IBB with the bases loaded. The KU commit has easily been one of the top offensive players in the Sunflower State this year. |
