North Carolina Pitcher of the Week: February 24 – March 1, 2025
Opening day always brings excitement, but for a player joining a new team, the anticipation is even greater. Add to that the celebration of a 2024 state championship, and the atmosphere becomes truly electric.
On Friday night, Luke Roupe, a 2025 right-handed pitcher committed to South Carolina, stepped into that environment and delivered a performance to remember. Amidst the pregame festivities, Roupe seized the spotlight and dominated on the mound, throwing a no-hitter in his season debut.
The imposing right-hander pitched a complete-game shutout, leading his team to a 10-0 victory in six innings. Roupe was nearly untouchable, striking out 15 batters on just 81 pitches, with 56 of them for strikes. The only baserunner he allowed came via a hit-by-pitch.
For his outstanding performance, Luke Roupe has been named the Prep Baseball NC Pitcher of the Week.
