Prep Baseball Wisconsin Player of the Week: Grady Chvosta
May 6, 2026
Senior SS Grady Chvosta (MSOE commit) was dominant at the plate this week for No.14 Slinger. A key catalyst in wins over Nicolet and Arrowhead, going 10-for-16, with one home run, four doubles, nine RBIs, four runs, and four walks. The highlight of the week was a walk-off double in the 8th against Arrowhead. The right-handed bat is now slashing .435/.534/.696 with a 1.230 OPS, nine doubles, one home run, 16 RBIs, nine walks, and eight stolen bases. For these reasons, the senior has been named this week’s Player of the Week.
Chvosta started his week with a 1-for-4 performance in a loss to Harftord, collecting one RBI. It wasn’t till the next day that he began to catch fire, going 3-for-4 with an RBI and two doubles in a heartbreaking 3-4 loss against Homestead, which went into the 9th. Chosta got the scoring started this game with an RBI double in the top of the 3rd. He carried this momentum into the next game against Wisconsin Lutheran, going 2-for-3, with two RBIs, a home run, and one walk. Another game when the shortstop got the scoring started with a two-run bomb in the top of the first. Although this would not be enough as the Owls would fall 7-3.
Slinger would turn it around as the weekend hit, starting with an 8-6 win over Nicolet. Chvosta would go 1-for-2 in this game, with two RBIs, a double, and two walks. He capped off a seven-run 5th inning with a two-run double. Then in the final game of the week, Chvosta played hero with a walk-off double in the bottom of the 8th. He ended the game a perfect 3-for-3 with a double, three RBIs, and a walk.
The senior has always been an impact bat through his years at Slinger, now on track to break the school's single-season double record, which stands at 13 right now. He is currently ranked 106th in the Wisconsin 2026 class and continues to prove why he is a top bat throughout the state.
