The Prep Baseball Louisiana High School Player of the Week highlights the best performance from a Bayou State 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.

Derouen has been on an absolute tear this spring, and his hot streak continued in a big way during Week 7 for Erath. Across four games, the uncommitted junior went 5-for-9 (.556) with a home run, 2 doubles, a triple, 9 RBI, and 4 runs scored—impacting the game every time he stepped in the box.

On the season, Derouen is hitting an eye-popping .563 with 4 home runs, 13 doubles, 1 triple, 34 RBI, and 27 runs scored. Even more impressive is his elite strike-zone discipline, as he’s drawn 16 walks to just 2 strikeouts—underscoring just how advanced his approach is at the plate.
