HITTER OF THE WEEK

Cooper Goff OF / Mountain Ridge, UT / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 1 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 72 / POS: 18 Cooper put on a clinical power display this week, serving as the undisputed engine for a Mountain Ridge offense that swept a high-stakes region series against Herriman. Goff was nearly impossible to keep in the yard, launching three home runs and driving in seven runs over the three-game stretch. His dominance was headlined by a monster performance in the series finale, where he blasted two home runs and accounted for five RBIs to secure the sweep. Finishing the week with a .500 average and a staggering 1.945 OPS, Goff’s blend of elite power and high-level production continues to solidify his status as one of the most dangerous middle-of-the-order threats in the state. Highlights: 3 GP / 10 AB / 5 H / 3 HR / 7 RBI / 6 R / .500 AVG / 1.945 OPS   ‘27 OF Cooper Goff (Mountain Ridge)@TCU_Baseball recruit Coop drives this pitch to the backside gap for a 2 RBI triple to open up the lead in Game 3. Smooth operator in the box, apparent confidence and a threat to leave the yard at any time. @CooperGoff29 @mtridgebaseball… pic.twitter.com/te4xStuJuq — Prep Baseball Utah (@PrepBaseballUT) March 21, 2026

PITCHER OF THE WEEK

Jonathon McGuire RHP / OF / Dixie, UT / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 48 / POS: 13 Jonny McGuire turned in a masterful performance on the mound this week, anchoring the Dixie Flyers in a gritty 2-1 victory over a strong Pleasant Grove team. The right-hander was absolutely dominant throughout his 7.0-inning complete game, surrendering just three hits while consistently working ahead in the count. McGuire’s command was on full display as he racked up 10 strikeouts, effectively silencing a potent Vikings lineup and refusing to allow a single earned run. It was a true "ace" outing that showcased his poise and ability to thrive in high-leverage situations, providing the Flyers with the shutdown performance needed to secure a marquee win. Jonny remains uncommitted at the next level and is making a strong case for consideration as one of the top uncommitted arms remaining in the 2027 class.
