The Prep Baseball Louisiana High School Pitcher 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 email Alex Armand at [email protected]

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

 

 

Week 9 Pitcher of the Week

 

2025 RHP Karson Trichel (Ouachita Christian)

 

 Week 9 Stats

-Record: 1-0

-Innings Pitched: 7

-Earned Runs: 0

-Hits Allowed: 0

-Strikeouts: 13

-Walks: 2

The Nicholls State recruit has been stellar ever since he stepped foot on Ouachita Christian's campus and he'll leave as one of the most decorated players in school history regardless of how the rest of this spring finishes.  The Eagles dropped a tough one run game last Wednesday to Oak Grove, before Trichel made his start the next day against Mangham and he delivered a complete game no-hitter and allowed only 2 walks with 13 strikeouts on 93 total pitches (61 strikes | 32 balls).  Trichel was in control from the start and ended up throwing a first pitch strike to 17 of the 23 hitters that he faced.  Ouachita Christian is currently the #12 seed in the LHSAA's Select Division IV Power Rankings, but if Trichel can continue to throw the ball like this, then they may be primed for an upset or two over the next couple of weeks.
