<div class="p-rich_text_section"><strong>OF Will Gasparino, Texas</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section"><strong>Will Gasparino</strong> has had a phenomenal week, earning him Player of the Week. His impressive stats over this period include an 8-for-15 performance at the plate, resulting in a staggering .533 batting average. His on-base percentage was even more remarkable at .588, thanks to his keen eye, leading to two walks along with his prolific hitting.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">Gasparino's slugging prowess was on full display, as evidenced by his incredible 2.188 OPS. He showcased his power with five home runs and added a double to his extra-base hits, driving in 13 runs. His scoring capability was also highlighted as he crossed the plate seven times himself.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">Not just a powerhouse at the bat, Gasparino demonstrated versatility on the base paths with a stolen base, underscoring his all-around athletic ability.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">His outstanding performance this week highlights his skills and his crucial role in his team's success. Gasparino's ability to impact the game in multiple facets makes him a key player to watch as the season progresses.</div>
<div> </div>

<div class="p-rich_text_section"><strong>RHP JB Middleton, Southern Miss</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section"><strong>JB Middleton's</strong> recent performance has earned him the "Pitcher of the Week" title. Throughout 8 innings pitched, Middleton dominated the opposition, allowing just one hit and one walk, while keeping the scoreboard clean with zero runs allowed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">His command on the mound was evident, as he struck out an impressive 12 batters, showcasing his ability to effectively overpower hitters and control the game. Middleton's performance reflects his skill, precision, and crucial role in securing a dominant win for his team.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">With such a standout outing, Middleton has undoubtedly raised his profile and will be a key player to watch in upcoming games, as he continues to build on this exceptional performance.</div>

<div class="p-rich_text_section"><b data-stringify-type="bold">1B/OF Ethan Petry, South Carolina</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section"><strong>Ethan Petry</strong> seems to have taken our critical analysis of his 2024 struggles to heart, showing significant improvements in his 2025 season. His strikeout rate has dramatically decreased from 25.3% to 12.1%, and his overall contact rate has risen to 78%. This marked improvement at the plate suggests he's refined his approach significantly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">He's not just making contact; he's making smarter contact, pulling the ball with intent, which leverages his considerable raw power—a crucial adaptation for someone with his profile. Given his physical attributes, Petry is likely destined for first base, where his size and lack of agility are less of a liability.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">One of the most notable developments in Petry's game this year is his enhanced ability to handle high velocity, particularly pitches that challenge him upstairs. On a standout play Friday night, Petry took a 98 MPH fastball from <strong>Liam Doyle</strong>—a pitch located at his shoulders—and launched it into the left field stands. This ability to connect with such a challenging pitch is a testament to an improved bat path, something he struggled with last season.</div>
<div> </div>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">Petry's rising stock is a narrative to watch. While he may not yet be in the conversation for a first-round pick, his trajectory suggests that he could be headed in that direction. The pressure is on his bat to perform, but the adjustments and tools he's shown this season are promising signs for his potential success in professional baseball.</div>
