Let's take a look at the Mizuno Player and Pitcher of the Week for Week 5 of the 2026 spring season. 


MIZUNO PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Lane Brown OF / LHP / Dickson County, TN / 2026


Lane Brown delivered a standout two-way performance this week, going 15-for-23 (.652) at the plate with five doubles and six RBIs while consistently producing quality at-bats. On the mound, he was just as effective, tossing seven scoreless innings across two appearances, allowing only three hits and striking out 10. Brown’s ability to impact the game on both sides made him a key difference-maker all week.

MIZUNO PITCHER OF THE WEEK

Lane Ayars OF / LHP / Wilson Central High School, TN / 2029

Lane Ayars delivered a dominant outing on Friday night, tossing a complete-game no-hitter against Perkins. The left-hander worked all seven innings, allowing no hits while issuing four walks and racking up 13 strikeouts.
