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 8 Player of the Week

 

2027 Chase Marcotte (Destrehan HS)

 

 

Week 8 Stats

-Record: 1-0

-Innings Pitched: 8

-Earned Runs: 0

-Strikeouts: 7

-Average: .556

-Doubles: 2

Marcotte continues to be the unquestioned leader for the Wildcats, and he delivered in a major way for Destrehan last week. Across four games, he went 5-for-9 (.556) with two doubles, one RBI, and four walks, consistently setting the tone offensively.

His standout performance came last Thursday against St. Charles Catholic. The uncommitted junior was dominant on the mound, tossing eight shutout innings with seven strikeouts, and then provided the game’s biggest swing—delivering a walk-off RBI double in the bottom of the eighth inning to secure a 1-0 victory for Destrehan.

A true two-way impact player, Marcotte continues to prove he’s one of the most valuable and competitive players in the state.
